The Tomb Raider I-III Remastered trilogy has undergone an update that has notably removed several pinup posters of Lara Croft from the third game. Previously, these images could be found in the Sleeping with the Fishes level, but they have now disappeared from the remastered version of the game.

The original graphics option still features the images. The removal of the posters has sparked controversy among fans, with many accusing developers Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics of censorship. The franchise’s official website had previously highlighted the posters as an interesting detail. Despite the game’s warning that players may encounter offensive material, the team had initially chosen to keep the content intact to present the game in its original form. IGN has reached out to Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics for comment.
