The official Tomb Raider site has given us little tease as to how it plans to unify the timelines between the original Core trilogy and the recent Survivor trilogy.
Back in 2021, Crystal Dynamics confirmed that future games in the franchise will unite the two sets of Tomb Raider timelines. Since then, we have seen Lara Croft pop up in Call of Duty with a design which mixed that ‘Classic Lara’ look of old, including her dual pistols, tank top and braid, alongside elements from the more recent rebooted games. A subsequent image shared on the Tomb Raider website earlier this month also gave us another look at a unified Lara (see header image above).
But while we have a pretty good idea of how Lara will look in Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming-but-still-very-under-wraps Tomb Raider game, how the two trilogies’ lore would be unified was still a bit of a mystery. Now however, a sneaky line of text on the Tomb Raider website has given us our first idea of how the two timelines will connect.
