Lara Croft is about to make her return in the new Netflix anime.

Netflix is giving gamers all the goods when it comes to anime series. Their League of Legends series "Arcane" and Cyberpunk: 2077 series "Edgerunners" have been huge hits. Now, the popular streaming platform Netflix has released a trailer for its newest anime, "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft."

The legendary character Lara Croft returns in this unique-looking anime.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft to release on Netflix in 2024

The new Tomb Raider Netflix anime series does not have an official release date as of now, but we do know what year it will be released.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft release date:

  • 2024

The popular franchise has been around for years now, with multiple games being released in the past for Xbox, PlayStation and more. In the last decade though, the franchise has had a popular video game trilogy, that really let players dive into the life and adventures of Lara Croft.

More recently, the character had her own movie, starring Alicia Vikander, and in the past, two movies were made starring Angelina Jolie.

All of the original Tomb Raider movies sadly flopped, but an animated take on the popular franchise could be just what Lara Croft needs. Supposedly, the new series will pick off where the recent video game trilogy left off.

What is Tomb Raider?

Tomb Raider is a popular gaming franchise, where players play as the legendary explorer, Lara Croft; think the woman version of Indiana Jones. Lara Croft constantly gets herself tied up in nerve-wracking situations while trying to discover artifacts and more.

Her father, who had been murdered when she was a kid, was a large reason why she would explore. It was his sense of adventure that was passed down to her.

The series has had multiple installments, but the recent trilogy is easily a top series for fans of adventure games.
