A new update for Tomb Raider 1 - 3 Remastered has given Lara Croft an outfit worthy of Scary Spice. Sing it with me, 'When tomb become one!'

This leopard print ensemble, which you can see in full below, was originally conceived during the development of Tomb Raider 2's Golden Mask expansion. However, it never made the final release.

Now, thanks to Tomb Raider 1 -3 Remastered's second update, we can all see Lara in full leopard glory. This particular outfit is available in the level known as Nightmare in Vegas.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered arrived back in February, on Lara Croft's birthday no less. On its release, we awarded the game four stars while acknowledging some of its dated qualities.

"I still love this collection, because it's carefully made and lovingly updated, but also awkward, elbowy, frustrating and prone to leaving me stuck. It's a collection that understands that Tomb Raider was absolutely a game about its controls, and it still should be - even if it doesn't quite know how to deliver on that," our Donlan wrote in Eurogamer's Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered review.

As well as these games, there are also two Tomb Raider shows in the pipeline, one at Amazon and one at Netflix. Amazon is also said to be working on a Tomb Raider film adaptation.
