Amazon has revealed multiple projects based on “Tomb Raider,” a female archaeologist-themed video game brand that debuted in 1996. The brand has already produced 20 video games and two films, and Amazon now intends to transform it into its own media universe, with a film, TV show, and new video game in the works.
For this project, Amazon has partnered with Dmitri M. Johnson’s dj2 Entertainment, which is reported to be one of Amazon’s greatest commitments after the “Lord of the Rings” series. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, an actress and screenwriter, is working on the screenplay for the future TV series, while Crystal Dynamics is in the early phases of producing the Amazon-exclusive video game. This will be Amazon’s first single-player narrative product, as well as the biggest video game franchise it has acquired to date.
