Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered begins with a content warning that explains the trilogy contains “offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices”.
The message states that these depictions are “inexcusable” but have been kept intact to acknowledge their “deeply harmful” inclusion and learn from it.
There’s no detail in the statement on which specific elements of the games it refers to – though one likely example can be found in Tomb Raider 3, Eurogamer fans of the games tell me, where stereotypical South Pacific islanders attack Lara Croft with bows and arrows.
