Who knows if this animated adaptation of Tomb Raider'll be worth it?
And that's because it's on the one and only Netflix. Game Informer announces a new cartoon based on the famous video game series starring Lady Lara Croft is drawing near, but look what they're going to set it after:
As you can see in the teaser above, this take on Lara Croft seemingly follows the recent Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider reboot trilogy that concluded with 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Back in 2021, when Netflix announced Atwell's role in the show, it confirmed the series would take place after the events of that trilogy. Looking at this teaser, it's hard to say whether or not that's the case. But it sounds like we won't have to wait long to find out since Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is expected to hit Netflix soon.That remake series from the past decade was so woke in its own way, or just plain had dreadful artwork, why should we expect this cartoon with Japanese-style design to be any improvement? Or even expect the adaptation of Capcom's DMC series to be worth it? Remember, it's Netflix, the most woke streaming service around. Fandom Wire does note, however:
In the meantime, check out the teaser trailer for Netflix's Devil May Cry anime series released today as well. In terms of new Tomb Raider games, the first three PlayStation 1 titles are getting remastered next year.
It has been stated that Crystal Dynamics wishes to bridge the divide between the original series of games and its reboot trilogy, and this new series will supposedly be part of that bridge. The next game in the franchise will utilize Unreal Engine 5.On this issue, how do we know the "remasters" won't be PC? I've noticed at times some USA-based video game manufacturers have of recent been censoring the contents in their older output, in some of the biggest acts of woke cowardice in this modern era, so based on how even TV ventures go these days, you can't be optimistic they'll be honest and faithful to the original material. That's why it's better to stick with the older editions. Also note how in the new cartoon, Lara's depicted using archery for weapons rather than bullet firearms. Some could reasonably wonder if such a change was made for the same reason WB produced recent Looney Tunes episodes depicting Elmer Fudd using blades rather than guns. In Tomb Raider's case, all that does is make for additionally lazy fare.
Amazon Games is set to publish the next Tomb Raider game, which aims to include elements across all games across the franchise’s history and bring them all together as one unified timeline.
Until then, players can look forward to remasters of the original trilogy, set to be released next February for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
