Lara Croft's Leap in Remastered Edition
A thrilling image captures Lara Croft in action, jumping off a cliff in the remastered edition of Tomb Raider I-III.

Instead, it was found on the Epic Games Store, until a recent patch by the studio erased it, causing frustration among players.

The New Tomb Raider Remastered Collection
Two weeks ago, the new Tomb Raider remastered collection, which contains polished versions of the original three games, was launched on consoles and PCs. Although not perfect due to some bugs and issues, fans generally gave positive feedback. However, some issues, including overly dark levels, missing textures, and broken photo mode poses, were not present in the Epic Games Store version. This discrepancy led to confusion and anticipation for improvements on other versions.
Advertisement Side Note
While many fans noticed the differences between the Epic versions and other versions of the Tomb Raider trilogy, Twitter user Small Medipack stood out as the situation's unofficial reporter. They started tweeting about the discrepancies on February 26, creating a comprehensive thread that showcases all the discovered variances.
Minor and Major Changes
Some of the changes are minor, such as a slightly different texture that you might only notice if you compare the versions side by side. However, some changes are significant. For instance, some game areas looked much better due to larger holes in the roof allowing more light in. Other levels boasted larger, more impressive skyboxes that weren't hidden behind dull ceilings. Another difference is the inclusion of more photo mode poses and some, including one with Lara sitting, worked better in the Epic Store build compared to Steam or console.
The Downside
However, it's important to note that the achievements in the Epic Store version were broken. Despite this, fans were more than happy to overlook this one issue to enjoy a better-looking Tomb Raider trilogy.
The Best Version of Tomb Raider Trilogy is Now Gone
Understandably, many fans sought an explanation from Aspyr about the situation and a timeline on when other versions of the remaster would be similarly upgraded.
