The controversy surrounding Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis continues to grow. After various reports indicated that the game would not include Spanish or Italian dubbing, numerous players have begun to organize on social media to try to get the project’s responsible parties to reconsider this decision.

In Italy, the mobilization is being particularly intense, and several groups dedicated to video game translation and dubbing are promoting a joint campaign with the Spanish community. The goal is simple: to make the fans’ discontent visible and remind them that both regions have been enjoying the saga with localized voices for decades.

The community is asking to maintain a tradition that has accompanied Lara Croft since 1998

• The initiative’s promoters claim that Spain and Italy represent an important part of the Tomb Raider community and consider that losing the dubbing would be a step backward for a franchise that has historically been localized in both markets.
• Through social media posts, the organizers are encouraging players to comment on the game’s official channels and those of its responsible parties with a common message to increase the petition’s visibility.

The proposed text to use is the following:

“🇪🇸 We want the dub for Spain like we have had since 1998.”

The intention is for thousands of users to post this message on videos, trailers, and official publications related to Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, following a similar strategy to the one already being carried out in Italy.

• For now, the game’s responsible parties have not made any official announcements on this matter, but the community hopes that a joint mobilization can serve to get the studio to reconsider the decision before the launch.

The Lara Croft saga has always had a strong presence in Spain, and many players consider that maintaining the dubbing is part of the franchise’s identity. Now it remains to be seen if this campaign will be visible enough to catch the developers’ attention in the coming weeks.
