In Tomb Raider 1–3 Remastered, all the Easter eggs from the original games were quite carefully transferred, including pin-up posters with Lara Croft. However, with the April patch, the posters were removed from the game.
The secret could be found in the level Sleeping With The Fishes in The Lost Artefact add-on for the third part. If in the original these were blurry, invisible images, then in the remaster they are significantly improved.
In April, some players noticed that the posters disappeared after the next patch:
«Wow. They did it. They actually did it. Crystal Dynamics censored photos of Lara in the Tomb Raider update,» user SmashJT.
It is noteworthy that their removal was not mentioned in the notes for the new patch.
Outraged players turned to the author of the Aspyr remaster for clarification. The developer responded by writing the following:
In the recently released Patch 2, we made several texture and graphical updates to the HD version. As part of these updates, the posters in Sleeping With The Fishes (The Lost Artifact) were inadvertently removed in the HD version of the game.
The developer has already promised to restore the posters in the next patch for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered.
