If you liked the Prime Video Fallout adaptation that took the world by storm, you’re in luck – Amazon has announced a Tomb Raider series as part of its deal between Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios.
Amazon has managed to attract Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who rose to fame with films like the award-winning Fleabag, to write and produce the series. Most recently, Waller-Bridge contributed to and starred in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, so he’s no stranger to the relic looting crafting games are known for.

This surprising revelation is as follows initial announcement A new Tomb Raider game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Amazon Games. This new entry in the iconic video game series will be a “single-player, narrative-driven adventure that continues the story of Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series.” Naturally, this means more action, more puzzles and more classic Lara Talk.
As far as the connection between the game and the show is concerned, although there are little to no details on the two at this time, Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, has said that they are “looking at Lara Croft’s adventures in a different way.” There are different stories”. This likely means the show will take a similar approach to the hit fallout series By using a rich world but not making a carbon copy of the game’s story.
As stated before, information about the game or series is definitely scant, so there is no release date, and we don’t expect a release any time soon. While game development usually takes longer than TV show production, it is only “currently in early development” thus it could be a few years before we see any synergy between the two mediums.
To scratch that itch in the meantime, you can incidentally claim Crystal Dynamics’ 2013 refresh of Tomb Raider completely free. prime gaming, It’s only available until June 5th and it’s also the Game of the Year edition, so cash in before it’s too late.
