Bestselling archaeologist, adventurer, and icon Lara Croft is preparing for a bold new chapter. Dark Horse Comics has announced Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts #1, the first issue of a four-part miniseries arriving in comic shops on January 14, 2026. The series promises to continue Lara's story in a way that blends personal conflict with the pulse-pounding adventures that have made her one of gaming's most enduring heroines.
The story picks up after the events of Tomb Raider: Underworld. In the wake of Croft Manor's destruction, Lara is left to confront who she is, what drives her, and where she belongs in a world that has been reshaped by her actions. Just as she begins to take stock of her future, a mysterious artifact emerges—one that feels strikingly familiar and impossible to ignore. Drawn back into the life she thought she might be leaving behind, Lara embarks on a global journey filled with tombs, relics, dangers, and moral dilemmas tied to obsession and discovery.
The series is being helmed by an impressive creative team. Writer Casey Gilly, known for her work on Buffy: The Last Vampire Slayer and My Little Pony, leads the charge with a narrative that promises both action and emotional depth. Italian artist Antonio Di Caprio, celebrated for his work on Samuel Stern and KAYLA, brings Lara's adventures to life with striking visual detail. Colorist Eren Angiolini, whose vibrant work has graced Critical Role: Tales of Exandria–Artagan and DC Pride 2025, provides the mood and atmosphere, while lettering is handled by AndWorld Design. The first issue also features cover art by Taurin Clarke, whose style captures Lara's iconic presence with a modern edge.
Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts #1 will be released on January 14, 2026, with a cover price of $4.99. With its strong creative team, compelling premise, and the promise of both action and introspection, this series has all the makings of a memorable new chapter in Lara Croft's legacy.
