Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is set to premiere on Netflix this October. Are you curious about what has become of Lara Croft following the conclusion of Crystal Dynamics' Survivor Trilogy, concluding with Shadow of the Tomb Raider? Your curiosity will be satisfied this October.
Netflix has partnered with the Tomb Raider franchise to release an anime this autumn, continuing Lara's journey after the third installment. In this next chapter, Lara embarks on ever more perilous quests on her own. The show's outline mentions Lara distancing herself from her close allies to undertake these daring missions alone, only to find herself needing their assistance when a noteworthy Chinese artifact is taken from Croft Manor.
Hayley Atwell is lending her voice to Lara Croft this time, with Earl Baylon returning to voice Jonah Maiava, a familiar character to the game's fans.
Summary: Following the timeline of the Survivor Trilogy — Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider — the narrative picks up with Lara distancing herself from her circle to tackle more dangerous solo explorations. Yet, the theft of a significant and dangerous Chinese artifact from Croft Manor by a thief with a deeply personal vendetta compels Lara (voiced by Hayley Atwell) to return. Her quest for recovery takes her across the globe and into uncharted tombs, pushing her to face her inner demons and resolve the type of hero she aspires to be.
