Which actress performed Lara Croft’s motion capture in the 2013 video game Tomb Raider?

Camilla Luddington performed Lara Croft’s motion capture in the 2013 video game Tomb Raider.

The game represented a major reboot of Lara’s origin story. Luddington supplied the character’s performance through motion capture and voice acting, portraying Lara as a young archaeologist facing her first major survival crisis rather than as the already-established adventurer of earlier games.

Tomb Raider was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix in 2013. Its story follows Lara and the crew of the research ship Endurance after they become stranded on Yamatai, a fictional island associated with the legendary Japanese queen Himiko.

Luddington continued as Lara in Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The role is sometimes confused with the live-action film portrayals by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, but those actresses played Lara in movies rather than performing the 2013 game’s motion-capture role.
