“It’s incredible to be part of this legend and to see how much the series has evolved over time, and think about what’s yet to come. “ Tomb Raider has become a cultural phenomenon over the last 20 years, selling millions of copies worldwide, sparking one of the most successful video game film adaptations in history, and inspiring our amazing fans of all ages,” said Scot Amos, co-head of studio with Crystal Dynamics.

Its sales success continued with the game’s release on PC earlier in January. The game released in November 2015 with some very heavy promotion, and managed to sell one million copies over the course of the holiday season. That led to Microsoft inking an exclusive console deal for the sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider. It has sold over 8.5 million copies since its release, making it the best-selling game in the series to date. It introduced the world to a younger Lara as she fought for survival on an enemy-laden island, in the hopes of fulfilling the legacy of her father left. Tomb Raider saw several sequels, but it was the 2013 reboot Tomb Raider that brought the franchise back to true form. Lara also managed to leave her mark on real-world culture. She was named “most successful game heroine” in the Guinness Book of World Records on different occasions (including 19) she ended up getting her own stamp in France she was the first (and only) video game character to appear on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, and she appeared on-screen during U2’s PopMart Tour. The game was also made into a couple of films, featuring actress Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Since then, the game franchise has sold into the millions. In the years following, sequels continued to perform just as well, even though the original developers at Core Design were eventually replaced by Crystal Dynamics, who created the best-selling 2006 release, Tomb Raider: Legend. The original game was a smash success for the then-publisher, Eidos Interactive.

“We look forward to celebrating with fans, and honoring the iconic Lara Croft with special events, retrospectives, giveaways and other surprises throughout this year of Tomb Raider.” “Since its introduction, Tomb Raider has held a significant place in video game history, and further cements with this milestone,” said Ron Rosenberg, co-head of studio for the development team at Crystal Dynamics, in a blog post. Square Enix, the game’s publisher, recently announced that it has big plans for Lara’s 20th anniversary, which kick off next month at the PAX East event in Boston. This year, her legacy lives on, thanks to the release of the critically acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider, which is a big hit on Xbox One and PC. With it, video game fans were introduced to a bold new heroine named Lara Croft, an explorer who who faced a variety of dangers (including a live T-Rex dinosaur) in a search for lost treasures. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the original Tomb Raider released for PC, Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn.
