Crystal Dynamics has detailed (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/01/06/hands-on-with-tomb-raider-definitive-edition-on-ps4/) the numerous improvements players can expect to see in the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/07/tomb-raider-definitive-edition-confirmed-for-xbox-one-ps4/), explaining that the new port is "a colossal effort, soaked in visual enhancements and technical optimizations."

The game will run at a native 1080p resolution on the PS4 and Xbox One, and will be bolstered by a "buttery framerate" throughout. The new port is bundled with all of the game's previously released multiplayer DLC, along with the bonus The Tomb of the Lost Adventurer add-on, six alternate outfits, and a collection of digital comic books and documentary featurettes.

Lara herself has also seen an upgrade for the upcoming port, as Crystal Dynamics has implemented a new head and face model for the game's misfortune-prone protagonist, along with subsurface scattering technology that results in more realistic skin glow.

While a handful of games (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/19/how-the-ps3-ps4-upgrade-program-works-for-retail-digital-games/) released last year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were available at a discounted rate for buyers who wished to upgrade to PS4 and Xbox One versions, Eidos notes (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=140634) that it will not offer a Definitive Editiondiscount for players who purchased a previous version of Tomb Raider on any platform. The company additionally revealed (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showpost.php?p=1967543&postcount=2) that Definitive Edition's upgrades are exclusive to current-gen consoles; an update for the Windows PC version ofTomb Raider is "not planned."

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will be priced at $59.99 when it launches in North America on January 28.
