Survivor Timeline

The Survivor Timeline is the third game timeline within the Tomb Raider franchise.

Lara Croft
Lara Croft is significantly different within this timeline, as opposed to her original counterparts. Lara's first adventure, was the search for the mythic kingdom of Yamatai, which results in a shipwreck, which takes the place of the plane crash from all the other timelines.

She is portrayed by Camilla Luddington.
