Happy 30th anniversary to the Officially Amazing Lara Croft! 🥳
First shaking up the gaming scene in October 1996, the @tombraider series hit its 30th anniversary this month - an incredible achievement that few franchises celebrate!
As everyone's favourite action hero archaeologist, it's no surprise that the lionhearted Lara has a few world records under her legendary belt. Our favourite is probably that she's the best-selling videogame heroine.
Over 100 million Tomb Raider games have been sold since Lara first set out from Croft Manor 30 years ago.
She's blazed a trail for gaming girls everywhere, and stands shoulder to shoulder with other greats of videogaming like Metroid's Samus Aran and Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.
We can't wait to see what the future holds for Tomb Raider and Lara Croft. If you ask us, she's pretty darn iconic… Here's to another 30 years!
