Following
the news that
it is publishing the next
Tomb Raider game,
Amazon Games announces plans for a new
Tomb Raider series that will
stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. This is being written and produced by
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who continues to follow her
Fleabag success with work on
established properties like this one, His Dark Materials, and Indiana Jones.
Lara Croft has already starred in three Hollywood features, and now we'll see if
she can be fit onto the small screen. Here's more on the show and the game,
indicating they are not directly connected:
This exciting news comes after
Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Games previously announced a collaboration to
develop and publish a new multiplatform Tomb Raider video game. The as-yet
untitled game is a single-player, narrative-driven adventure that will add a new
chapter to Lara Croft’s story in the Tomb Raider series.
“With great IP, the possibilities are endless. The richness and depth of the
fiction allows the Tomb Raider series from Prime Video and the video game from
Amazon Games to tell separate stories about Lara Croft’s adventures.” said
Christoph Hartmann, VP of Amazon Games. ”We’re honored that Crystal Dynamics has
entrusted Amazon with this iconic franchise, and we’re looking forward to seeing
where this collaboration takes us.”
