This is the Survivor trilogy, the 2013 reboot that rebuilt Lara Croft from the ground up. The first Tomb Raider strips away the icon and tells an origin story: a young, untested Lara shipwrecked on a hostile island, learning to kill and endure rather than swaggering through it. The combat is grittier and the tone closer to a survival thriller than the puzzle-box raiding of the older games.
Rise of the Tomb Raider sends her after a city tied to immortality, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider closes the arc against the backdrop of a Maya apocalypse, leaning back toward the tombs and traversal the series is named for. The throughline is transformation: three games tracking one character's hardening from frightened survivor into the confident adventurer of legend. A focused, games-only trilogy.
The The Survivor Reboot Trilogy franchise spans 3 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
Part of Tomb Raider.
