The co-creator behind the original Tomb Raider video game has revealed that the iconic Lara Croft nearly received an anime-style redesign for Japanese audiences back in the day. The anime-inspired designs for Lara were delivered quite late into the development process, so it is unclear whether time or a point blank refusal were to blame for it never materialising. Still it would certainly have been interesting to see.

It’d be way better than what we got, for sure. Just look at how horrible this Lara is.
