That’s a shame. She really embodies the rebooted version of the character.

 

[TheShadowLord]

Sounds about right with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal making a GaaS Avengers game. Might be a while till we see another Tomb Raider

 

[muckymucks]

It'd be a shame if Luddington walks away after Shadow but she gave three exceptional performances and she'll give another actor the opportunity to step into Lara's boots.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

They fucked up not having her be the live action Lara Croft. That would've gotten me to see the movie.

 

[CatCouch]

I'm glad to see there is some appreciation of Lara and Tomb Raider as iconic1 A positive view in regards to women in games is refreshing here after hearing so much negativity in recent years.

I really hope there is more Tomb Raider to come where Lara can be fleshed out more. This trilogy was fun but inconsistent for me (Shadow is a damn good game, though). There's a lot more that can be done! I'd love to see Lara back at the top of her game (locking butlers in freezers)!

 

[Punished Miku]

She was always fine as Lara. At the end of the day though they just put way too much emphasis on her character in these games. She is largely a player avatar blank slate. The star should have been the tombs and the gameplay additions. Her characterization should have been some additional flavor, not the main focus of the games.

 

[Vlaphor]

Well, I hated the Lara from the reboot trilogy, but a lot of that was the script, so I can't blame her for everything. Still, a bit of emotion probably wouldn't have hurt in ROTR.

I doubt there's any chance of the real Lara Croft coming back, but I'll keep hoping.

Someone spoil me. Was Shadows of the Tomb Raider a send off like UC4?

I haven't played it yet but I seriously doubt it. She is still "becoming the Tomb Raider." It's like it's barely hit full speed.

Spoiler: End of Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Lara becomes a literal god at the end of the game, then she sacrifices herself and becomes human again. The end scene is her safely in her mansion reflecting on her experiences. It's a happy ending with room for her to continue her adventures.

might be a while until we see another non-avengers game from them, to be honest.

Okay. Thanks Camilla.

Wow, they went full alien or whatever.

 

[kunonabi]

She was bloody awful so the sooner they move on the better. She seemed bored out of mind in Shadow anyway.

 

[jonnyp]

Thank eff for that. Soulless portrayal of Lara.

LOL

 

[Azurro]

I haven't played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but Lara as a character is really boring in the last couple of games, but that's not the fault of the actress, just the writing is dull af.

 

[MayauMiao]

I hope to see the confident dual wielding hot pants Lara Croft in the next game.

 

[GenericUser]

She's probably going to be old when the next movie is going to be made.

 

[ShirAhava]

meh

The modern portrayal of Lara Croft is nothing to write home about

 

[darkinstinct]

That’s a shame. She really embodies the rebooted version of the character.

Well, the reason is that the third game is the end of the rebooted version of the character. It was always meant to be an origin trilogy and that is now done. It's time to move to 30 year old Lara.

This takes Mary Sue writing to another level.

 

[Breakage]

So I guess that means CD will have to change Lara's face again.

 

[TheSHEEEP]

Maybe we can finally leave that terrible sexism behind and allow Lara to be male, now.

If some weirdos could actually get that discussion started about a female James Bond, why shouldn't it be possible for Lara Croft?

 

[Zimmy68]

The thread title got cut off.
It should have continued...
... and no one cared.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

thought she did a decent job, but the material she was given was wholly uninteresting.

looking forward to a classic design reboot.

 

[odhin]

I've liked her on the first one (2013 reboot) but yeah, not too bummed about this news.
There is no Lara like the OG Lara (yes, the one from and only the first game lol)
