Tomb Raider in anime format
The anime series that Netflix is preparing will also follow the story of this new Lara Croft. Although the production of Legendary has not yet offered too much detail, they have confirmed that the plot will follow the adventures of this renewed version of the adventurer. According to The Hollwood Reporter, the fiction will be written by Tasha Huo, who will also serve as an executive producer. Huo is also in charge of The Witcher: Blood Origin, the spin-off miniseries of the saga written by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Crystal Dynamics, also creators of Marvel’s Avengers, were in charge of giving a spin to the original concept of Tomb Raider. This is how the 2013 game was born, which combines platforms with action within a product more focused on its narrative facet. Rise of the Tomb Raider was followed by Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the latter developed by Eidos Montreal.
