Tomb Raider I–III Remastered Update Faces Backlash Over New Outfits as Lead Artist Disavows Role

Aspyr has yet to address growing questions over the outfits’ provenance or reports of new bugs.

Overview

  • The March 12 patch added a Challenge Mode, new trophies, and 10 unlockable outfits that include gameplay modifiers.
  • Players widely criticized the outfits’ visual quality, citing odd symbols, warped details, and inconsistencies highlighted in Reddit threads.
  • Giovanni Lucca, credited as the remasters’ lead artist, said he and other original Saber Interactive developers were not involved in the patch’s art direction.
  • Some users reported regressions after the update, including lost save files, menu music playing in-game, asynchronous subtitles, and main menu navigation issues.
  • Fans are questioning whether generative AI was used for the costumes, a concern sharpened by last year’s removal of unauthorized AI voice lines, and Aspyr has not commented.
