15 Things You Didn T Know About Lara Croft

The Tomb Raider franchise virtually came out of nowhere and has been around for over twenty years.

Movie and video game sequels have wildly varying connotations for their respective industries. The former tend to be viewed with skepticism, but the same does not extend to the latter. In theory, both arise from a publisher seeking to profit on a critical or commercial hit. Although sequels can be disregarded as cash grabs, especially if the original project told a complete narrative, outright dismissing a successor is short-sighted.
