Help Bring Lara Croft's Iconic Adventure Backpack to Life!



Idea Planet Launch’s fan-funded Tomb Raider Collector’s Bundle is now available for pre-order!

Last year you selected Lara Croft’s iconic adventure backpack as the next great Tomb Raider collectible you’d like to see made. In the time since, our friends at Idea Planet Launch have been ironing out the fine details, including the goodies inside!

The Tomb Raider Collector’s Bundle is available to pre-order today for $119 USD and includes:

  • 13” W x 10.5” H x 5” D
  • Authentically aged and distressed top-quality vegan leather
  • Fully lined interior
  • Main compartment features two compartments with enough space to fit your tablet, chargers, journal, and perhaps an artifact or two!
  • Snap closure to keep your belongings secure
  • Matching brass hardware

As with all Idea Planet Launch projects, this is a fan-funded campaign, so securing 2,500 backers is needed for them to put the bundle into production! The pre-order campaign runs from Feb. 14 until March 31 at midnight EST, and you can track campaign progress HERE. Help spread the word on social!

*If you back the Tomb Raider Collectors Bundle and Idea Planet Launch doesn’t hit 2,500 orders, the bundle will not go into production, and you will receive a full refund.



As a bonus, when you back the campaign, you’ll immediately receive two digital papercraft downloads – one of Lara Croft’s old friend the T-Rex and one of the Atlantean Scion from Tomb Raider (1996)!

A Tomb Raider website update is feeding into those reveal rumours


Not to get your hopes up too much, but the official Tomb Raider website has updated to let you sign-up for emails about "breaking news" regarding the franchise.


Now, we really don't want to get ahead of ourselves, as a website updating so that you can get some emails about a video game doesn't mean it's going to tell you about that video game right away. The update on the website was originally spotted by Twitter user thetreeble, later shared by Tomb Raider news account SmashLara (thanks, TheGamer), and really isn't much of an update. But, with Tomb Raider not having had a game since 2018, and with confirmation last year that a new game is in development at Crystal Dynamics, with Amazon Games as its publisher, an upcoming reveal wouldn't be entirely unsurprising.


More than that, though, Miller Ross had previously reported a new Tomb Raider game was planned to be revealed this year. Ross has shared accurate information about Marvel's Avengers, another Crystal Dynamics game, prior to official reveals, so him also having information on a new Tomb Raider game makes sense. Of course, this is all speculative, so don't go telling your nan another Tomb Raider is on the way, but it all does seem to be lining up quite nicely.

Updated to XeSS version 1.1
Removed erroneous message on game start-up that resulted from disconnecting Square-Enix Members services. The Tomb Raider online servers are still operational.

Phoebe "Fleabag" Waller-Bridge is writing a Tomb Raider TV show for Amazon


Lara Croft has seen her fair share of live-action adaptations, but this time she’s raiding the small screen with a Tomb Raider TV series and a film in development at Amazon. THR reported that the Emmy-winning Fleabag writer Pheobe Waller-Bridge is set to pen (and executive produce) the upcoming show, though there's no word on who's attached with the film. THR states that Amazon is looking to "build out a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and film." This sounds a little ambitious, considering that Crytal Dynamics' game is already in production, so we'll have to wait and see how the adaptations interact with the games.
