Fan-made Tomb Raider 2 Remake Gets Update

Recently, a partial remake of the game Tomb Raider 2 got an update with a photo mode, as well as some improvements like water simulation rendering, volumetric lighting, alternative outfit for Lara and other character models in the Rewards menu.

About the Tomb Raider 2 remake

Called Tomb Raider: The Dagger of Xian, the remake of Tomb Raider 2 was made by a modder named Nicobass who used Unreal Engine 4 to give the game a new look. However, it is a partial remake, with only part of the full version of the original title. It is important to note that developers Eidos Interactive and Crystal Dynamics have allowed the remake project on the condition that it is for entertainment purposes only, without profit.
