a huge update and a nice gift


To gain points after a launch that was not to everyone’s taste, the Tomb Raider Remastered trilogy is being updated with extensive changes.

Two months after its release, Tomb Raider Remastered welcomes its second major patch. Considering the notes for this update, the term is clearly not overused. In addition to bringing a number of improvements and bug fixes, Lara has a new… furry addition to her wardrobe.

A massive second update for Tomb Raider Remastered

One month, one patch seems to be the rhythm adopted by Aspyr for Tomb Raider Remastered. Each patch at least has the merit of being particularly substantial, and even of adding “new” content. The element most highlighted by this update is a new outfit for Lara. It will now be possible to adorn her with a leopard skin, in reference to a secret level in Tomb Raider II placing the adventurer in Vegas.

In addition to this addition which may or may not be controversial, the second patch of Tomb Raider Remastered aims to improve and correct many things. Whether it’s visual effects, bugs or others, each remastered installment of the trilogy receives a lot of attention from Aspyr. You will find the notes for this second patch in detail below, translated from English by us.
