Revision 2

Lara Croft is the sole playable character in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Voiced by Alix Wilton Regan, she is the series' iconic British archaeologist and adventurer, brought to life in this reimagining with new performance capture work.

Portrayal

Alix Wilton Regan voices Lara in this title, taking over from Camilla Luddington, who voiced the character across the 2013 to 2018 Survivor trilogy. The same actress also voices Lara in the separately announced sibling game Tomb Raider: Catalyst, providing voice continuity across both newly revealed titles. Scott Amos, the Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics, has described the casting as bringing the right mix of "wit, charm, and charisma" together with "emotional depth and confidence" for modern Tomb Raider storytelling.

In her own remarks during the press tour around the reveal, Alix Wilton Regan has framed her approach with the phrase "no Laras left behind," noting that she has played the games and studied the prior portrayals to bring a performance that honors what came before while opening a new era. She has called this period of the franchise the start of a "Golden Age" for Tomb Raider.

The studio has described keeping a confident version of Lara Croft for the reimagining. Her detailed biography, age, and family background have not been laid out for the new version ahead of launch.

Abilities and Equipment

Lara is presented as a highly capable adventurer who explores treacherous environments, solves puzzles, and fights lethal predators. Because combat and exploration were rebuilt from scratch for this reimagining, her specific weapon loadout and the detailed movement systems for the new version have not been confirmed in pre-release materials. Equipment and ability lists from the 1996 original are not confirmed for this reimagining.

Role in the Story

Lara's goal throughout Legacy of Atlantis is to locate and recover the scattered pieces of the Scion, an artifact of immeasurable power tied to the lost civilization of Atlantis. Her hunt takes her across four confirmed regions: the jungles of Peru, ancient ruins in Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious Mediterranean island.
