The iconic Lara Croft could sport a brand new look for the next chapter of Tomb Raider, which will be published by Amazon.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is now available for the main platforms, and it is a real dive into nostalgia (or, better said, into the refrigerator) for the millions of fans who loved the originals at the time of the first PlayStation. But the good news for lovers of the saga may not have ended here: there are those who speculate, in fact, that the official website may have revealed the face and features of the new Lara Croft.

The next Tomb Raider —

Lara Croft has had a considerable number of versions over the years: sometimes they have been simple aesthetic revisitations, while in other cases, as in the most recent trilogy, the development team (now Crystal Dynamics, originally Eidos) took us on a journey on other timelines where we revisited the iconic archaeologist’s youth. With a new title now in the works based on Unreal Engine 5 and with the publication of Amazon Games, there are already those who are wondering what period of the heroine’s life we ​​will find ourselves exploring. And the official Tomb Raider website may have answered this age-old question…

The new Lara Croft —

As can be seen from an artwork contained on the official Tomb Raider website, in fact, it seems that the Lara Croft we will play with in the next chapter will be in her “prime”: that is, at the height of her sumptuous career, we don’t know whether before or after the original episodes but definitely after the prequel trilogy. Croft’s look and physicality, moreover, seem like a meeting between his youthful variant and the one now consolidated in the imagination of early fans: a good compromise between the two souls of the saga which now presents itself as more realistic, and rightly less macho than it was in its glory days. We’ll see whether or not this artwork will be reliable for the purposes of defining the new Lara Croft videogame, although the times for the next Tomb Raider don’t seem so short.
