The expansion of Lara Croft’s world
The Tomb Raider universe is rapidly expanding, with a series of exciting projects aiming to interconnect games and TV series. Among the most notable is the highly anticipated live-action series of Lara Croft, which will be launched by Prime Video. But this is just the beginning, as there are other significant developments underway that promise to delight fans of the most famous adventurer in the video game industry.
The animated series
In addition to the new video game that has yet to be officially announced, another key project is the animated series “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft,” which will premiere on Netflix in a few months. Recently, it was confirmed that the series will debut on October 10, as announced in a trailer released a few hours ago. This series promises to showcase new feats of Lara and the dangers she will face.
Temporal connection and relevance
Although it might seem like just another animated series based on a video game franchise, “The Legend of Lara Croft” has a more ambitious purpose. According to reports, Netflix intends to connect the classic games with the latest Tomb Raider trilogy developed by Crystal Dynamics in a single timeline. This makes it a crucial production for fans of the saga, as it will continue the events seen in “Shadow of the Tomb Raider.”
Additional Details About the Series
Despite this animated series not being connected to the Tomb Raider movie starring Alicia Vikander, it is known that Hayley Atwell will voice Lara Croft in the Netflix series. Other characters appearing include Jonah Maiava, portrayed by Earl Baylon, who also brought this character to life in the last three games of the franchise. Additionally, the character Zip, a classic ally providing technology and technical support to Lara, will also play an important role in the series.
Connections
The expansion of the Tomb Raider universe promises an exciting convergence of media, with interconnected video games and series enriching the fans’ experience. With the new animated series and the upcoming Crystal Dynamics video game on the horizon, Lara Croft’s followers have much to look forward to. This synergy between different narrative formats ensures that Tomb Raider will remain a vibrant and relevant franchise for years to come.
