Back in October 2021, Square Enix announced the release Lara Croft and the Keeper of Light and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on Nintendo Switch. Both titles were pushed back to 2023 last year, and now there seems to be another development.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board recently rated ‘The Lara Croft Collection‘ Feral Interactive Limited for Switch. The review describes it as “a collection of two action-adventure games” which seems to be in line with the spin-off announcements being made by Feral Interactive. Here is the full description:
Rating Summary: This is a collection of two action-adventure games where players help Lara Croft and her allies search for artifacts to stop the ancient gods from destroying the world. From a 3/4 overhead perspective, players traverse jungle ruins and ancient temples, solving puzzles and battling hordes of hostile creatures (eg dinosaurs, giant scarabs, stone demons). Players use spears, pistols, machine guns and rifles to defeat enemy forces in fast-paced combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic shooting, large explosions and screen shaking effects. Some creatures break into pieces and/or release a spray of yellow liquid when hit. Red blood is shown in several examples: the large blobs that appear when a creature is crushed between spiked rollers; a book page stained with drops of blood. The word “bastard” is heard in the game.
Feral Interactive confirmed the delay of Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris last December – mentioning at the time that it looked forward to sharing more in the new year. While these games are fine for the Switch eShop, the developer also mentioned that they will certainly consider a physical release. You can find out more in our previous story:
