Netflix announced in 2021 that <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/01/27/tomb-raider-series-coming-to-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it was developing an animated Tomb Raider</a> series starring Lara Croft. Shortly after, <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/09/13/hayley-atwell-cast-as-lara-croft-in-netflixs-tomb-raider-anime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix revealed that Hayley Atwell</a>, whom you might recognize as Grace from this year's <em>Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning</em> or as Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, would voice Lara Croft in the series. Today, Netflix released our first look at the series, which is called <em>Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft</em>.
There’s no word on when to expect the series, but Netflix says it’s coming to the subscription streaming service soon.
Check out the Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft teaser trailer for yourself below:
As you can see in the teaser above, this take on Lara Croft seemingly follows the recent Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider reboot trilogy that concluded with 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Back in 2021, when Netflix announced Atwell’s role in the show, it confirmed the series would take place after the events of that trilogy. Looking at this teaser, it’s hard to say whether or not that’s the case. But it sounds like we won’t have to wait long to find out since Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is expected to hit Netflix soon.
In the meantime, check out the teaser trailer for Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime series released today as well. In terms of new Tomb Raider games, the first three PlayStation 1 titles are getting remastered next year.
