Netflix Tomb Raider anime premieres today

In September of last year, Netflix officially announced that they were working on a Tomb Raider animated series. Titled ‘Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft’, the anime brings back the most recent iteration of Lara from Crystal Dynamics’ reboot trilogy. As with all Netflix productions, the full Season is available to view in one go from today.

Set to drop onto Netflix on the 10th of October 2024 (today), Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft looks to be an action-packed series which in Netflix’s own words “continues right after the events of the Survivor Trilogy of video games — Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider — and finds Lara abandoning her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures.”

Unlike the games however, Lara is being voiced by Hayley Atwell – known best for her role as Peggy Carter in the MCU.

Netflix’s anime adaptations of video games have been somewhat hit-or-miss, with the likes of Castlevania and Cyberpunk Edgerunners being the former and Onimusha unfortunately in the latter.

With us getting both a Netflix animated series as well as a live-action adaptation (distributed by Amazon) at some point in the future, it seems only a matter of time before Lara Croft makes her grand return to the world of video games. Hopefully Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft winds up being a good time.
