Tomb Raider II isn’t an indie game by any stretch of the imagination, but French developer Nicobass’ fan remake of the first level in Unreal Engine 4 is an independent effort worth celebrating. Including contributions from artist Inna Vjuzhanina, Jennifer Milward’s voice acting for Lara, Dean Kopri’s work on music and Alexandre Serel on script duties alongside beta testers, and fan support from a series of Tomb Raider community pages. It’s as good a sign as any that if the IP holder won’t remake a beloved classic, the fans can and will take things into their own hands – with startling results:
