Tomb Raider 2 (2025): The Deeper the Tomb, the Deadlier the Secret

To stop the future from being rewritten, she must uncover what time tried to bury.

Lara Croft returns in Tomb Raider 2 (2025)—fiercer, smarter, and more unstoppable than ever. This pulse-pounding sequel picks up after the events of the 2018 reboot, plunging the iconic adventurer into her most dangerous quest yet: a globe-spanning race against time to stop an ancient power from falling into the wrong hands. What begins as an archaeological investigation quickly spirals into a brutal fight for survival across traps, tombs, and treachery.

When a cryptic map is unearthed in the mountains of Bhutan, Lara discovers clues to a lost temple said to house the Crown of Midnight—a relic capable of controlling time itself. But she's not the only one hunting it. A secretive militarized organization known as The Veil will stop at nothing to claim the artifact and reshape history. To stop them, Lara must follow a trail through collapsing ruins, treacherous jungles, and myth-soaked legends—each more dangerous than the last.

As her body is tested and her mind pushed to the edge, Lara begins to question everything: her past, her purpose, and what kind of legacy she truly wants to leave behind. The journey isn't just about solving puzzles or dodging death—it’s about facing the ghosts that have chased her since her father's disappearance.

Directed by Misha Green, Tomb Raider 2 elevates the action with brutal choreography, deeper emotional stakes, and a Lara Croft who fully embraces her role as a hero shaped not by glory, but by grit. With Alicia Vikander reprising her role, the film blends ancient mythology, modern warfare, and pulse-pounding set pieces to redefine what it means to be a Tomb Raider in the 21st century.
