Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft anime announced

Over the past many years, Netflix has adapted a whole bunch of video games into anime, including Castlevania; Dragon’s Dogma; Tekken; and of course Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Now, the media giant has officially announced that they are working on an animated Tomb Raider series.

Releasing a short ‘first look’ teaser trailer, little is known about the adaptation currently, however according to Netflix the anime will feature “the iconic rise of Lara Croft” – suggesting that it will either be an origin story, or at the very least will feature Lara in her earlier years.

Additionally, Croft herself will be voiced by Hayley Atwell, who is known best perhaps for her role as Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – though has also appeared in Black Mirror and Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning.

Tomb Raider has been a multi-media franchise for decades now, with the story of Lara Croft being told and retold across 3 films, a 2007 TV show; comics; novels and a whole lot more. It will be interesting to see how this anime is ultimately received when it releases at some point in 2024.
