While we wait for Crystal Dynamics' next, unified Tomb Raider title to shape the future of Lara Croft, some fans have taken matters into their own hands—looking to the past to bring order to decades of fragmented storytelling.
Bringing together all the eras of the Tomb Raider franchise into a single, cohesive timeline is no small feat. Since her debut in 1996, Lara Croft has undergone several reimaginings—each with its own set of stories, settings, character developments, and even contradictions.
Ed (Secret), the creator behind the Tomb Raider de A a Z Channel, has crafted a fascinating unified timeline of Lara Croft's adventures. His mission? To connect the dots between the classic, LAU, and Survivor eras of the games—while acknowledging the difficulty (and at times, impossibility) of doing so cleanly.
You can explore Ed's unified biography either by reading the detailed PDF below or by watching the video where he walks through his thought process and decisions.
