After years since the last iteration in the series, a new Tomb Raider game is set to be revealed this Thursday at The Game Awards, and I'm stoked to see how it's looking and what the plans are for it. And yet I'm also dreading what will come of the reveal.
Because Lara Croft is a truly iconic video game character. The Tomb Raider games on PS1 were hugely influential for that console, and helped turn the adventurer into a household name in gaming and pop culture. I even remember seeing TV commercials, namely this one below, that celebrated her stardom and how even adults loved her.
