Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft Brings Adventure to Life in New Clip

As a longtime fan of video games, I must say that Netflix has truly outdone itself with its recent foray into animated series based on popular titles. From “Castlevania” to “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix”, and now “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners”, it’s clear that the streaming service is becoming a go-to destination for animation enthusiasts.


Over the past while, Netflix has been putting a lot of effort into the animation field and it’s paid off with some impressive achievements. Shows like Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners have played a big role in establishing Netflix as a top destination for animated content. In the coming days, we’ll see the arrival of another exciting addition to their lineup – Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. To generate excitement for the series, Netflix has recently released a sneak peek video showcasing Lara Croft’s upcoming adventures.

Unlike most Netflix video game adaptations where Lara Croft is part of an external world, the upcoming series will immerse viewers within the very universe of the Tomb Raider video games. While the anime series Edgerunners shares ties with Cyberpunk 2077, the new Lara Croft series, titled “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft,” will unfold post-the trilogy of games that revamped the iconic character – Tomb Raider, Rise of The Tomb Raider, and Shadow of The Tomb Raider. These titles saw Lara endure numerous tough adventures, shaping her into the hardened treasure hunter we recognize today. A recent clip released by Netflix hints at Lara’s dependence on her companions despite being a formidable figure in her own right.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft Preview

As a fervent admirer, let me share my excitement over the latest sneak peek for the video game adaptation. In this fresh installment, Lara Croft isn’t alone; she’s joined by Jonah Maiava, a prominent figure from the recent video game trilogy. Having demonstrated his mettle numerous times in the games, Jonah is undoubtedly poised to make a substantial impact in the forthcoming animated series. Given that this series picks up post the initial revival trilogy, it’s anyone’s guess as to the fate of characters like Jonah; after all, anything can happen in this new, uncharted storyline!

The Showrunner Shares Lara Croft’s Secrets

Previously this year, our team at egmr.ru had an engaging conversation with Tasha Huo, the showrunner of “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft”. In our discussion, Huo shared that they frequently collaborated with Crystal Dynamics, the game producers, to ensure an authentic portrayal of Lara. Huo expressed that they received approval to depict Lara’s life during the interim period, which she found captivating after playing the “Survivor” series. According to her, this Lara is significantly different from the one we knew in the ’90s and beyond.

Huo went on to say, “I found myself pondering, ‘How did she transform into this character?’ This query turned out to be a major challenge while creating the series. I was essentially trying to unravel how Lara managed to establish such an extensive network that eventually led her to connect with a monk in a remote monastery. How did she come to know that person? To me, it was intriguing to discover the answers. How did she develop her humor? It was exhilarating to craft the initial Lara we all grew fond of.

Tomb Raider’s Release Date

On October 10th, you can stream “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft” on Netflix. This action-packed series spans across eight episodes and serves as a continuation after the prequel trilogy, introducing Lara Croft as a fully fledged explorer and adventurer.
