Another popular video game franchise, Tomb Raider, is getting a series at Prime Video. Written and produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the Tomb Raider series is part of a deal between Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios and will be exclusive to Prime Video. Amazon Games is also working with Crystal Dynamics to develop and publish a new multiplatform Tomb Raider game. Little is known about the next game, but it will be a single-player, narrative-driven adventure, so we don’t have to worry about another live-service disaster from Crystal Dynamics (Marvel’s Avengers).
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is best known for the series Fleabag, but she is also credited as a producer on Killing Eve and a writer on No Time to Die.
“With great IP, the possibilities are endless. The richness and depth of the fiction allows the Tomb Raider series from Prime Video and the video game from Amazon Games to tell separate stories about Lara Croft’s adventures.” said Christoph Hartmann, VP of Amazon Games. ”We’re honored that Crystal Dynamics has entrusted Amazon with this iconic franchise, and we’re looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us.”
