Netflix and Square Enix unveil a new chapter of the Tomb Raider franchise.
World-famous treasure hunter Lara Croft is about to embark on a dangerous new adventure that is promising to be her most ambitious one yet. A glimpse of it was unveiled to us by Netflix who have recently revealed the trailer for their much-anticipated Tomb Raider anime adaptation.
It is no secret that fans all over the world have been seriously thirsty for any new high quality Lara Croft content, and this upcoming anime is really looking like it might deliver everything the lovers of the series have been hoping for. The trailer promises exciting action, encounters with supernatural forces and, of course, Lara at her best form ever — so there’s quite a number of things to get excited about.
Another highly interesting aspect of the new show that is sure to ignite the fans’ interest is the fact that it promises to not simply take Lara on some kind of a ‘stand-alone’ adventure but rather serve as a connection link that bridges together the events of the original Tomb Raider series with the recent reboot. And while that surely is a lovely idea in theory — it’s not exactly clear how its practical implementation is going to work. As, considering the somewhat — for the lack of a better word — convoluted plotlines of the franchise, that might end up being a very difficult thing to accomplish.
According to the previous press releases, the story of the anime adaptation is going to pick up right at the point where the trio of the recent Square Enix’s games had left it — with Lara Croft already having graduated from the role of an innocent inexperienced rookie, but not yet achieving her signature status of a legendary dual-pistol-wielding Tomb Raider.
With the anime series promising to properly conclude this transformation, fans surely have a lot to look forward to. Like it was previously said — tying up all the loose ends in such a massive franchise will certainly be a Herculean task. But no matter the outcome, one thing is beyond any doubt: Netflix has been on an absolute roll with its recent invasion into anime territory and the viewers have all the reasons to be excited for this one.
