That sure didn't take long. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is out today, delivering a very nice graphical update to Lara Croft's original three adventures along with some other niceties, including modern controls and high framerate support. Within hours mods for the remaster were popping up on the Nexus page, most of the initial wave seemingly focused on adding the classic graphics into the remastered graphics mode so they can be appreciated with the updated lighting and added environmental details. It also took less than 12 hours for someone to upload a topless Lara mod, because, well, of course.
It's hard to think of a more primal bit of gaming lore than the "Tomb Raider nude code," a schoolyard rumor that made its way into gaming magazines and message boards and circulated for years even though it did not exist. In 2021, one of the game's developers reflected on the rumor, indicating that publisher Eidos didn't exactly go out of its way to debunk it.
