The Tomb Raider sequence that was first rumored greater than a yr in the past is now official: Scorching on the heels of its hit Fallout present, Prime Video has formally unveiled plans for a brand new sequence based mostly on the Tomb Raider video games.
The brand new sequence will probably be written and produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, generally known as the creator of the comedy sequence Fleabag and the unique showrunner and head author of Killing Eve; she’s additionally an actor, showing in movies and tv exhibits together with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future and Solo: A Star Wars story because the voice of L3-37.
As for who will observe within the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander to painting Lara Croft within the sequence, that is still a thriller for now.
“With nice IP, the probabilities are countless,” Amazon Video games vp Christoph Hartmann stated. “The richness and depth of the fiction permits the Tomb Raider sequence from Prime Video and the videogame from Amazon Video games to inform separate tales about Lara Croft’s adventures. We’re honored that Crystal Dynamics has entrusted Amazon with this iconic franchise, and we’re trying ahead to seeing the place this collaboration takes us.”
That’s definitely the form of factor you say in a low-info company press launch, and I do not suppose I might personally describe the Tomb Raider narrative as both wealthy or deep. However the success of the Fallout sequence earns Amazon some advantage of the doubt on that entrance. Fallout is an inherently extra attention-grabbing setting, however the looser strictures of Tomb Raider, which is not fairly so tightly shackled to its sport world and the calls for that come up from that canon, ought to afford Waller-Bridge and firm extra room to be creatively versatile.
As for after we’ll learn the way that little bit of hypothesis holds up, there’s at present no indication: Amazon stated solely that it will likely be unique to Prime Video (no shock there) and that “we stay up for sharing extra about each tasks as they progress.” That “each tasks” reference is a reminder that Amazon Video games can be publishing the following Tomb Raider sport, “a single-player, narrative-driven journey that may add a brand new chapter to Lara Croft’s story within the Tomb Raider sequence.” There isn’t any phrase on when it will likely be out, both.
