The Tomb Raider franchise turns 27 years old, and old school fans should be excited about classic Lara Croft returning from the dead.

. Miss Lara Croft has been an icon of the video games industry ever since her debut on the PlayStation One all the way back in 1996. Since her birth, she’s starred in a dozen video games with the Survivor trilogy the most recent saga. Although critically acclaimed, the Survivor trilogy has split the Tomb Raider franchise as many fans prefer the old-school Lara Croft. Survivor Lara is here to stay with the upcoming Netflix series, but classic Lara is set to return from the dead.

Survivor trilogy Lara is continuing in the Netflix series voiced by Hayley Atwell, but classic Lara Croft is returning to the world of video games. There’s the Tomb Raider 1-3 trilogy remaster coming out on her birthday, February 14th, next year, and then there’s the new game in development.

The unified Lara Croft concept means the Survivor trilogy origin is canon, meanwhile, all of the events of the other games will remain canon too, but with details slightly altered. Lara Croft’s next adventure is officially beingusing Unreal Engine 5, and it will be published by Amazon Games. There is hope that her next adventure will be revealed at this year’s Game Awards as reports have suggestedwhile speaking to investors.

Details for the next game are scarce at the moment, but it’s the events taking place after Tomb Raider Underworld that should have fans most excited. This means we won’t be getting another installment of Survivor Lara, and will instead see the return of a Lara Croft that resembles her classic and Legend portrayals. Here’s hoping it all takes place in a globe-trotting adventure where teamwork and friends aren’t the key to victory.
