Netflix, Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix, and Legendary Television are teaming up for a brand new animated series based on the Tomb Raider video game franchise, which will be released in October 2024.
Note: This preview is being updated over time to reflect new and changing information regarding the series. It was first published in early 2023 and was last updated in January 2024.
First announced alongside an anime project for Skull Island back in January 2021, Tomb Raider is one of many video game adaptations in the works at Netflix.
Tomb Raider has been around since the mid-90s and has been one of the biggest gaming franchises in history. There have been 17 Tomb Raider video games, with another entry reportedly coming. The 30th anniversary of Tomb Raider is in just two years (do you feel old yet?).
Three movies have been released so far based on the video game, including the two Angelina Jolie entries, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Cradle of Life. The more recent reboot starring Alicia Vikander came out in 2018, and a sequel is in development to be released by Warner Brothers.
We finally got our first look at the upcoming anime series at Netflix’s DROP-01 event in September 2023.
