While it’s hard to pin down exactly what Lara is up to in any of the clips in that action-packed trailer, a couple of moments remind me of my favorite Croft game - 2006’s Tomb Raider: Legend has a couple of moments that feel like they might be getting paid homage to in this trailer, which I suppose makes sense given both this series' name and its presence after the Crystal Dynamics series.
With The Legend of Lara Croft now officially only a few months away, Tomb Raider does appear to be stepping back into the limelight in an increasingly apparent way - just a couple of weeks ago, alive-action series penned by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge was announced, and that’s in addition to anew Amazon-backed Tomb Raider gamethat’s supposed to offer aunified version of Lara. Those tombs had better watch out.
