Tomb Raider Reboot Launches on iOS and Android

Feral Interactive has announced the release of Tomb Raider on iOS and Android. Originally released in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Tomb Raider has been fully rebuilt for iOS and Android.

Coinciding with the franchise's 30th anniversary, this reboot of the console version includes the complete original campaign and all 12 DLC packs featuring extra upgrades, outfits, and a bonus Challenge Tomb.

In case you need reminding, here's the blurb:

Tomb Raider tells the story of Lara Croft's journey from novice explorer to battle-scarred heroine. Shipwrecked on a mysterious island and armed only with her instincts, to survive she must overcome her limits and be reborn a legend.

The island's forest canopy hides murderous cultists, rampaging mercenaries, crumbling tombs and prowling wildlife. Whether puzzling, platforming, or fighting off attackers, Lara will be tested both physically and mentally as she uncovers Yamatai's ancient secrets. 

Feral says the visuals and performance of the game have been optimized for modern platforms, with higher-end devices able to reach 120 frames per second with improved textures and lighting.

Depending on your device, you can choose from up to four settings. Graphics mode prioritizes visual quality over frame rate. Performance mode does the opposite, offering smoother gameplay with slightly reduced visuals. Performance Plus, available on select iPad Pro models, pushes performance further with support for up to 120fps.

There's also a Battery Saver mode, which extends battery life by lowering both graphical fidelity and frame rate.


Controller-wise, the game includes a fully customizable touchscreen interface, with optional gyroscopic aiming available on supported devices. Full gamepad support is also included, as well as keyboard and mouse support on iPadOS and Android.

Tomb Raider is available now via the App Store and Google Play Store, priced at $19.99 / £12.99 / €15.99.

This is a rerelease, not a reboot… but still cool!
This game was a reboot of the series. Still makes it the reboot game. It was just rebooted back in 2013

Feral Interactive is a fantastic studio for porting PC/Console games to Apple and/or Linux based platforms.

Personally, if Apple was interested in truly getting into the gaming industry, one of the best things they could do is acquire Feral, but give them the freedom to do what they do best. Just like Apple leaves a lot of control for the TV and movies on AppleTV to the writers/producers etc.

Guess they wanted a painting of their heroine but the artist misunderstood the task and painted her doing heroin instead.

This was probably one of the last (non Nintendo) AAA games I’ve played, glad to see it out on the Switch and mobile now.

I'm curious, GPU-wise, how a current-model iPhone compares to a PS3.

The A19 supports ray tracing so has capabilities the PS3 could only dream of, and given that the A19 Pro is on par with high-end laptop GPUs from about 9 years ago it's a safe bet it's a heck of a lot more powerful than the 20-year-old PS3 even on graphics tasks the console was designed for, but it'd be fun to see some at least semi-direct comparison.

I can't even seem to dig up a comparable benchmark for a PC desktop GPU as old as the PS3 (the internet tells me something like the GeForce 7800 GTX is ballpark equivalent), though.
I believe the PS3 (RSX 'reality simulator') was about 200 GFLOPS. The A19 Pro should be in the 2,500 GFLOPS range (FP32) and close to 5000 with FP16. So at a minimum 13x more powerful.

From a pure GPU standpoint, the PS3 should be comparable to the 7800 GTX (or maybe the 7600 GT).

The A19 Pro should be like the GTX 1050 Ti or 1650, but with ray tracing. Also, the A19 Pro is comparable to Apple's M2 processor, if that helps.

I think a fair comparison is that the A19 Pro is basically like a upper mid-range desktop gaming PC from 2016 (but with a much better CPU and power efficiency). After throttling, it's more like a GTX 970, but sipping power.
