Two major projects define the future of Tomb Raider: the series prepared by Prime Video, and the new game in the franchise, from Crystal Dynamics.
From the live-action adaptation we have confirmation of its protagonistSophie Turner. In turn, the Crystal Dynamics game shows almost no signs of life.
It has now been revealed that both products will be linkedaccording to the most recent official information.
Amazon Echo Dot Max (2025)
The latest generation of Amazon’s Echo Dot Max comes with qualities that make this smart speaker one of the easiest and most versatile on the market.
The Tomb Raider series will have ties to the new game
Story Kitchen, the production company preparing the new Tomb Raider series, revealed that she will be closely linked to the next game.
The agreement that the production company signed with Amazon MGM Studios is not limited to the series, but proposes the creation of a new version of the saga, in all its formats.
In its official information, Story Kitchen reveals what it plans “reinventing the franchise on a colossal scale”; some plans in which Crystal Dynamics also enters.
The objective is “interconnect television series with video games, and give rise to a universe with a unified narrative”they add.
A project that involves all parties. Amazon doesn’t just supervise the series, but He is also involved in the creation of the new Lara Croft game.
It was revealed that Amazon’s video game division is helping Crystal Dynamics when completing the new delivery; a collaboration that began three years ago.
Does this mean that the two adaptations will premiere simultaneously? It’s unlikely, but It’s hard to imagine the game will arrive much later that the series presents the “connections”.
We could think that this transfer between series and game are DLCs or a model similar to the Fallout 76 expansion based on the television series. But at Story Kitchen they make it clear: It’s a narrative connection..
That common link could be Lara’s colleagueswhich will have great weight in the new game (and are ideal for enriching the episodic series).
The series could follow the example of another adaptation, in this case animated: The Legend of Lara Croft on Netflix, which has already announced its second season.
In the animated series There are flashbacks to the events of the 2013 game; and characters like Sam and Jonah, who we met in the last trilogy, also appear.
One thing is clear: The Amazon series will be canonical and will fit into the official chronology; be it the latest games or the original titles.
For now, Tomb Raider has no release date. Thus, it joins Prime Video’s upcoming adaptations, which also include Wolfenstein, God of War and Life is Strange.
