Square Enix revealed the voice actress that worked on the upcoming reboot ‘Tomb Raider’, the English-born actress will appear at Comic-Con this July.
Camilla Luddington (shown on the right) will be the voice of famous treasure-hunter Lara Croft this time around. According to Square Enix, Luddington was chosen after an international talent search including actresses in the United States and Europe. The publisher went on to say that Luddington “stood out as delivering both a depth of emotion and the youthful tone needed for Lara Croft in the upcoming reimagining of the Tomb Raider franchise”
“This has been one of the most important jobs for us to get right,” said Darrell Gallagher, head of studio at Crystal Dynamics “This Tomb Raider game is very different to any other and we are demanding far more from the voice and performance acting than ever before as we take the franchise in a new direction.”
This July, Luddington will also participate in the Nerd HQ and Comic-Con panels in San Diego, where she will join the development team as they talk about TOMB RAIDER and the story behind its creation.
You may have seen some of Luddington’s previous work in the Showtime series Californication and can also be seen in the current season of HBO’s True Blood.
TOMB RAIDER® is slated for release on March 5, 2013.
