Tomb Raider is a media franchise, which includes a series of videogames, comics, movies and anime series that revolve around the adventures of the British archaeologist Lara Croft. Since the publication of the first game in 1996 of the hand of Companies Core Design and Eidos Interactive, the popularity of the protagonist was increasing significantly, being recognized in 2006 by the book Guinness of records as Human Heroin More Successful video game. The first title of the Saga was Tomb Raider in 1996; The following year a second installment, Tomb Raider II is published; And only one year later the third installment, Tomb Raider III. The Saga continues with Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider V: Chronicles, Tomb Raider VI: The Ángel of the Darkness and Tomb Raider: Legend. The eighth game is a remake of the first, which celebrates the tenth anniversary of the saga, and consequently, it is titled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary. However, being a remake of the first, it is not considered as the eighth delivery, but as follows: Tomb Raider: Underworld, launched in November 2008. The successive publication of deliveries has caused an authentic phenomenon of merchandising, selling t-shirts, postcards, calendars, etc. Even Lara Croft became the protagonist of a SEAT advertising spot, a well-known Spanish brand of cars, and she has been referenced by the U2 music group in some of her concerts. Lara Croft found his replica of meat and bone first in the model Nathalie Cook (Tomb Raider I), who gave up his first place to Rhona Mitra (Tomb Raider II) and later to Nell Mcandrew (Tomb Raider III), Lara Weller (Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation), and Lucy Clarkson (Tomb Raider Chronicles). Afterwards, the image of Lara was radically changed, and its models already had more sweet and female factions: Jill Jong (Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness) initiated this change, followed by Karima Adebibe, who played the character in Tomb Raider: Legend and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Finally, Alison Carroll in Tomb Raider: Underworld became the last promotional model of the saga. By becoming the rights of the videogame franchise, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics began a new trilogy that would have the origins of archaeologist, still inexperienced, to become the one we know: Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider ( 2015) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018).
Lara appears as a comic character next to another beautiful heroin (Tomb Raider and Witchblade) by the hand of the cartoonist Michael Turner, and she was also the main theme of another comic of the magazine Mad: I Love Affair with Lara Croft.
The popularity of La Saga motivated the adaptation of the video game to the big screen with Angelina Jolie as protagonist of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: the cradle of life (2003). Fifteen years later, it would be released in Tomb Raider (2018) cinemas with Alice Vikander in the skin of an inexperienced Lara Croft and that is the adaptation of the successful 2013 Tomb Raider video game (a reboot of the story that counts the origins of the archaeologist ). A year later Warner Bros would give green light to a sequel to the 2018 film, which would be based on the 2015 video game, Rise of the Tomb Raider, which has not yet been released since it has been delayed by the coreavirus pandemic.
