Part 3/9:
Historically, Laura Croft has been a symbol of adventure—raiding tombs and uncovering ancient artifacts. But recent iterations of the franchise have veered away from this traditional archetype, focusing instead on cultural preservation and respect for indigenous peoples. However, the upcoming narrative shift suggests a more radical overhaul: Croft will now be portrayed as someone seeking to rectify the "colonialist" roots of her adventures. This transition is reflected not only in marketing but also in official materials, including the Shadows of Truth RPG rulebook associated with the franchise.
