Netflix has unveiled another original title with an anime series titled Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, which premieres on the streaming platform today.
The story picks up after the events of the last Tomb Raider chapter. Lara Croft heads out to recover a powerful Chinese artifact that was stolen from her home, facing a formidable foe along the way. The series is written by Tasha Huo, known for shaping fantasy narratives in projects like The Witcher Blood Origin.
All eight episodes are now available on Netflix. Early impressions have begun to circulate, with critics noting a light, adventure driven tone and dialogue that may not stand out for sharpness or depth. Some observers described the work as reminiscent of classic Saturday morning cartoons, while others labeled it merely average for its genre. The series adds to Netflix growth in animated adaptations that pair beloved game franchises with streaming friendly storytelling, aiming to attract both longtime Tomb Raider fans and new viewers seeking fast paced action on demand.
In related industry updates, Japan’s Warner Bros. recently shared a first look at a Joker and Harley Quinn pairing in the anime Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League. And prior to that, Netflix announced an animated series inspired by Dante from Devil May Cry would arrive, signaling a continued push into high profile video game adaptations on the platform.
