Exciting Times Ahead for the 'Tomb Raider' Franchise
The new cast announcement is the latest addition to a string of good news for the fans of the "Tomb Raider" franchise.
This follows the bombshell announcements made during The Game Awards last December, which saw not one, but two "Tomb Raider" video game announcements.
The first is "Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis," which will be a remake of the 1996 game. It is expected to be released sometime this year.
A brand-new game called "Tomb Raider: Catalyst" is expected to be released in 2027.
