Remastered Tomb Raider games allegedly used AI to change Lara Croft’s French voice
Françoise Cadol is the voice actor for Lara Croft in the French localizations of the Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered games. She has sent a legal notice to the games’ publisher, Aspyr, alleging that a recent patch used artificial intelligence to alter her performance without her consent. The news was originally reported by French publication and picked up by .
According to August 2025 for the remastered game collection, Tomb Raider VI was updated with some adjustments to its sound and audio. The latest update “fixed issues where various voice-overs and voicelines were too quiet, particularly in the Brazilian Portuguese localization” and “some voice-overs that were missing on the Steam build have been restored.” According to Le Parisien, fans alerted Cadol that the French version of the updated game seemed to differ from her original delivery, which they suspected were the result of the game using artificial intelligence. She has now filed a formal notice against Aspyr asking for sales of the game collection to be paused so the issue can be resolved.
We’ve reached out to Aspyr for comment and will update this story if we receive a response.
