To celebrate the 25th anniversary of theTomb Raiderfranchise, Square Enix just released a collection ofTomb Raider’s last three main games for a special price,Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy.Lara Croft recently became a character inFortnite’s latest season, and Square Enix announced Croft Manor will also become a playable level in the game. Throughout the year, Square Enix promises to deliver more news aboutTomb Raider, but no new game seems to be on the publisher’s calendar. Which is unfortunate, given the importance of the franchise for the gaming universe.
Lara Croft became one of the biggest video game icons after the release of the firstTomb Raiderfor the PlayStation 1, in 1996. Since then, Lara starred in dozens of games, all revolving around the exploration of ancient cultures and mythical places. Heavily inspired by the success ofIndiana Jonesin the movies,Tomb Raidermade Lara Croft an icon so important for pop culture that a lot of people consider the heroine the definitive action-archeologist — myself included, fight me!
