Netflix’s Tomb Raider anime premiere date announced

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 series was shown off with a brief teaser trailer. Now, we have gotten our first proper look at the show – alongside its premiere date.

Set to drop onto Netflix on the 10th of October 2024, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft looks to be an action-packed series taking more inspiration from Crystal Dynamic’s 2013 reboot as opposed to the original PS1 trilogy.

In fact, according to Netflix themselves, “The series 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.”

It is currently unclear as to whether the series will be canon to the games or not, as while some of the game’s voice cast are set to return, the titular Lara Croft is being voice by Hayley Atwell in the anime (as opposed to Camilla Luddington who portrayed Lara in the most recent trilogy).

Regardless, the anime itself looks to be good, and with us set to get both a Netflix animated series as well as a live-action adaptation (distributed by Amazon), it seems only a matter of time before Lara Croft makes her grand return to the world of video games.
