It turns out
the announcement of
plans for remastered
Tomb Raider games was premature, as they are now cancelled,
just one week after
being unveiled (thanks
VideoGamer).
This post
has word in fluent Canadian: "After this episode, we are refocusing on new
projects involving Augmented Reality on iOS and VR on PC. We are not more
committed on third party license anymore." The discussion of the tweet confirms
the cancellation, and includes
a petition imploring Square Enix to approve the remakes, and the petition
quotes RealtechVR on why this happened:
"We've received an official
letter from Square Enix. TR3 Mobile, and PC ports is cancelled. The demos we've
sent were not good, interesting enough for them. All our Youtube videos have
been taken down,"
