Tomb Raider: Anniversary looks set to hit PS5 and PS4 on October 21, according to a PS Store listing, but Sony’s PlayStation Plus announcement didn’t mention it. Fans are split between hype and confusion. Tomb Raider: Anniversary was confirmed for PS Plus Premium during a recent State of Play, yet the official PlayStation blog post announcing October’s catalog left the game off the list. The PlayStation post in question is available here.
A rumor account, billbil-kun, claimed the Anniversary release would arrive next week with the rest of the PS Plus refresh. But the PS Blog update omitted it, even though the game’s PS Store page shows a 21 October date right on its listing. Wild, right? There’s a thread floating around that the timing lines up with the original Tomb Raider’s 29th anniversary, and maybe Embracer or the rights holders plan a separate announcement. That’s one way this could play out.
The whole thing is a tiny mess for now. The PlayStation catalog post listing other October additions provides practical context for what actually landed on the service, including titles like Silent Hill 2 and Until Dawn. You can read our coverage of that catalog here. For now, the safest read is that the PS Store date hints at an October 21 release, but Sony hasn’t updated its official announcement. Fans should watch the PS Blog and the store page for changes. If this flips into an official drop we’ll report back with the details and what it means for PS Plus Premium members.
