Now here is something that completely passed under my radar. In 2021, we informed you about an upcoming fan remake of Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness in Unreal Engine. However, it appears that a similar project was in development for the Unity Engine. And, from the looks of it, there is a demo that you can download and play.
This pre-alpha demo features only one level from Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. It also comes with proper gameplay mechanics, meaning that you can climb ladders, use a flashlight, explore the environment and fight an enemy. It’s a pretty basic tech demo. Still, this is something that may interest some of our Tomb Raider fans.
Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness originally came out in 2003, and it’s considered one of the worst Tomb Raider games. That was mostly due to poor controls, weird camera angles and combat issues. The game also had a lot of bugs at launch.
Now from what I’ve seen, there are no plans to turn this Unity Engine project into a full-fledged project. After all, its creator has been inactive for the past two years. Still, it’s a cool tech demo for you to try.
On the other hand, the Unreal Engine Remake of Angel of Darkness is still in development. That remake has better graphics and a higher-quality 3D model for Lara. However, there is still no ETA on when it will come out. We also don’t know whether or not we’ll get a demo/beta version of it in the future. Still, the fact that the project is still being worked on is at least good news.
Anyway, you can go ahead and download the Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness Unity Engine Remake Demo from this link. Although this tweet is from 2021, the download link still works.
Have fun!
