But if there's absolutely ZERO, null, nada intersecrion betwen them then what's the point of announcing it? In such case there already IS a TR multiverse that doesn't intersect between its timelines

But one of these “universes” hasn’t had any developments for over 20 years now.

I don’t think the multiverse model necessarily requires interaction between the universes it is composed of, but they should at least coexist in the same timeframe.

At this point, the whole idea of having two separate TRs is more about unifying the fan base than creating a bridge between games from different eras.

But maybe it didn't have any developements precisely because the multiverse was never actually established in-lore, even if just briefy and swiftly. From the real world perspective, TR had a multiverse of many incompatible timelines for a looooog time already, that just comes from the basic storytelling logic. As soon as the first Top Cow comics happened, this has been a multiverse franchise since.

Maybe if the franchise utilized the concept within its story itself at least once, Crystal would be more keen to explore/greenlight projects from other timelines developed and released concurrently. Otherwise they're clearly focused only on 1 timeline at a given time and there's not much reason to suspect their stance could change without some significant developement making them change their minds

Why can't you understand the simple basic premise that none of the Lara will be erased by the unification process ?

Peoples can still play the remaster collection If they want or LAU.

I think you are trying to over complicate everything when the solution is rather simple.

Survivor Lara is the base for the origins of the character then she live in her late 20th some of the adventures lived by classic Lara (1/2/3) with some adjustments for the latter one (4/5/6) in a modern fashion (obviously not in the 90s).

By the years she evolve with her adventures into the Legend Lara wich is already mostly there in the Netlix show and then we pick up from that point in her life.

Mostly it's just like what's said in Legend those adventures have happened to the character and that's it.

No need for a reboot or a multiverse (which is rather overplayed now by the pop culture) Tomb Raider style game. We control a Lara that is confident, witty, but also empathic towards others. It's not that complicated.

You do not get it. It is not about erasing any Lara as a whole. It is about retconing. If you wanna say that classic Lara, LAU Lara and reboot Lara are one and the same person you cannot do it without changing her biography. Her parents story is different for each of Lara. Multiverse is much an easier solution. They don’t even have to create a game around it. The 3 Laras working together was just a sugestion from my part. Just officially acknowledge multiverse existance. Then pick one of the 3 Laras and make the next TR game. They could have either bring back classic Lara into new adventures or continue with reboot Lara. Multiverse or not there was no need for an unification. Devil May Cry did not unify original Dante with reboot Dante. They went back to the original series.

But it's still a reboot continuation.
Since Shadow they wanted to tie in to TR's first adventure.

I say no to the multiverse idea, it's unoriginal, based on trends and overplayed. It won't work. I would rather have the current version of Lara forced into becoming the classic Lara as promised.

Then what's the point of talking about some unitication at all? Shouldn't Crystal just say it's still gonna be Reboot continuation? And you say I am the one complicating rhings?

No one promised that she will be forced into becoming classic Lara. Where did you get this?😂
