Amazon didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
Online game variations are on one thing of a scorching streak: Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was successful, whereas HBO’s The Final of Us was simply renewed for a second season after solely two episodes. Hopefully, Amazon can carry an identical degree of high quality as these reveals to the brand new Tomb Raider collection and film. (I by no means noticed the older Tomb Raider motion pictures, however my understanding is that they aren’t nice.)
