Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has introduced Bradley Snedeker as Larson Conway in a new October 5 mini-documentary. The Natla-employed mercenary meets Lara early in her search for the Scion, and the feature shows the actor performing in motion-capture equipment.
Crystal Dynamics wants the character to retain his swagger while gaining a stronger personality. The studio highlights Snedeker’s chemistry with Lara actor Alix Wilton Regan as part of the reimagined rivalry.
The mercenary’s role reaches into gameplay
Larson believes he can keep up with Lara, even as she stays ahead of him. Director Raul Siqueira describes Larson and Pierre Dupont as Natla’s partners in an attempt to betray Lara. The feature also gives the encounter a specific gameplay consequence: defeating Larson awards Lara his shotgun.
That ties the character to an equipment change rather than leaving his role entirely in dialogue. It is a detail explained by the developer, not enough material to judge the full combat encounter or claim hands-on impressions.
A reimagined adventure due February 12
Legacy of Atlantis revisits the original 1996 Tomb Raider. The announced release is February 12, 2027, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Nintendo Switch 2. The documentary does not announce a revised launch date or establish this as a numbered sequel to the recent trilogy.
Our remake, remaster and reboot explainer covers why a reimagining may change scenes and mechanics. The separate Tomb Raider: Catalyst report follows the other announced project’s schedule.
