Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have chosen the voice actress, Camilla Luddington, for the heroine of the new Tomb Raider game, Lara Croft.

“When picking the voice for one of the most iconic characters in video games history, you take your time. With the Tomb Raider legacy being reborn it was important for everyone at Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics to pick an actress who’s unique voice would help compliment the new vision for Lara Croft. After an extensive international talent search we came across one person who was more than capable of delivering both the depth of emotion and the youthful tone needed for Lara.

Camilla Luddington was perfect for the role and quickly stood out as the obvious choice to make. She’s most commonly recognized by her most recent appearances starring in the hit series Californication and True Blood.“, commented Square Enix.

You can spot Camilla as guest at both the Nerd HQ and Comic-Con panels in San Diego where she will be joining the development team as they talk about Tomb Raider, Lara Croft, and the story behind its creation.
