Tomb Raider Remasters Include Content Warning About Offensive Depictions
-
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered begins with a content warning about offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices.
-
The warning states these depictions are "inexcusable" but have been kept intact to acknowledge their "deeply harmful" inclusion and learn from it.
-
The games contain stereotypical depictions of certain cultures, such as South Pacific islanders attacking Lara Croft.
-
The content warning is still rare in video games but has been used by streaming services for older offensive TV and movies.
-
The remastered editions add new features like photo mode, improved controls and graphics, lighting, animations and visuals.
