Have you ever played an entry in the Tomb Raider series and wondered just how much of it is based on real history? Don’t be ashamed if the answer is “no.” The games are so rooted in fantasy that it’s easy to overlook the real-world influences. Unless, of course, you’re the subject of our latest interview - Simon Bucher.
Simon serves as the creator, researcher, and writer for History & Geography in Tomb Raider, an exclusive YouTube series that delves into the real stories and locations featured in Lara Croft’s earliest adventures.
We sat down with Simon recently for a chat about his work on History & Geography in Tomb Raider, as well as our favorite topic ever - historical gaming.
Watch the full interview below and be sure to catch the full series on Simon’s channel.
