The Lara Croft Collection will double the adventure goodness on Switch later this month
Feral Interactive have delivered some pretty incredible Switch ports over the years and it seems their latest efforts are almost ready to be enjoyed as they have announced The Lara Croft Collection will arrive on June 29.
Packed inside this collection are Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, two games that took the character of Lara, but put her in games that were so out of the usual space she was in.
The main Tomb Raider games feature puzzles of course, but they are broken up by a lot of shooting or platforming, here though its mostly puzzles. Don’t misunderstand, there is still a lot of shooting, mostly against undead hordes and creatures of dark myth, but the puzzles are the star.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of these games is that you can play them solo or with up to 3 additional players. Here is a little more information on the games, direct from the developers:
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is an action/adventure game that combines the familiar, exciting hallmarks of the Tomb Raider franchise, like character progression and fun, fast-paced combat, with player cooperation and competition. Players take on Xolotl and his armies of creatures, explore the world, and solve puzzles at their own pace. Adventurers can jump in as Lara Croft or play co-op with another player joining as Totec.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, featuring stunning visuals and a new story set deep in the deserts of Egypt. Lara joins forces with rival treasure hunter Carter Bell, and the imprisoned gods Horus and Isis, to recover the fragments of Osiris before the evil god Set enslaves all of mankind. Either playing solo as Lara, or working together in up to four player co-op, players explore the temple, defeat hordes of enemies from the Egyptian underworld, solve devious puzzles, and avoid deadly traps. All the while, players will compete for treasure, powerful artifacts, and ultimate bragging rights.
Of course, if you still have an Xbox 360 connected, you can enjoy the games there, but they are also on other platforms, this is just their Switch debut. Pre-orders for the collection can be made now on the Nintendo eShop, with the full release coming on June 29th.
