5, 2013.
"This has been one of the most important jobs for us to get right," said Darrell

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.
