You can catch the trailer right here—just hit play above or check out the embed below. But here's where it gets even more exciting: this season, Lara (voiced by the incredible Hayley Atwell) teams up with her loyal best friend, Sam Nishimura (Karen Fukuhara), on a globe-trotting mission to recover a series of stolen African Orisha masks. Sounds like a typical day for Lara, right? Wrong. And this is the part most people miss—these aren't just any masks. They're shrouded in mystery, tied to a dangerous billionaire with her own agenda, and rumored to hold a power that might just be divine. Talk about raising the stakes!
According to the official synopsis, Lara’s journey takes her across the world as she uncovers the hidden secrets of Orisha history, all while outsmarting a cunning adversary who’ll stop at nothing to claim the masks for herself. But here’s the twist: these relics aren’t just ancient artifacts—they harbor dark secrets and a power that defies logic. Could Lara be dealing with something beyond human comprehension? It’s a thrilling question that promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Joining Atwell and Fukuhara in the voice cast are O-T Fagbenle as the enigmatic “Eshu,” Allen Maldonado as the tech-savvy “Zip,” and Earl Baylon reprising his role as the dependable “Jonah Maiava.” With such a talented lineup, expect the chemistry and action to be off the charts.
Behind the scenes, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is in capable hands. Executive producer and writer Tasha Huo leads the charge, alongside a powerhouse team that includes Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg, Timothy I. Stevenson, Jacob Robinson (Tractor Pants), Dallas Dickinson and Noah Hughes (Crystal Dynamics), and Jen Chambers. Animation duties are handled by the brilliant minds at Powerhouse Animation, with Brad Graeber serving as executive producer.
But here’s where it gets controversial: While fans are undoubtedly hyped for Lara’s return, some might argue that the divine power angle veers too far from the franchise’s roots. Is this a bold new direction or a risky departure? We’ll let you decide.
