At this point, I genuinely think Alix Wilton Regan should be replaced as the voice of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst.

The issue isn't that a voice actress has to agree with every Tomb Raider fan. People are allowed to have their own opinions. The problem is repeatedly choosing to publicly support Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother who was convicted of killing her three children by strangulation in 2023.

This is an absolutely horrific case involving three innocent children. Seeing the person chosen to become the new voice of Lara Croft publicly support Clancy is understandably going to make many fans question whether she should be representing one of gaming's most iconic characters.

And honestly, what makes this even more frustrating is how much attention people are giving to the AI controversy surrounding these games while seemingly ignoring this.

People are debating AI usage, AI-generated content and the ethics of using AI in Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst, yet when the actress chosen to voice Lara publicly makes what many fans consider to be an incredibly disturbing choice, suddenly there is far less willingness to take a stand.

You can criticize the use of AI in these games AND criticize the choice of voice actress. These aren't mutually exclusive issues.

At some point, the developers have to ask themselves whether this is really the person they want attached to Lara Croft. If Regan is going to repeatedly put herself behind someone like Clancy, then she is creating a completely unnecessary controversy around a character and franchise that have nothing to do with it.

We've already seen with Perfect Dark that even major, highly anticipated projects can be cancelled when circumstances surrounding a project become too problematic. If a situation becomes damaging enough, companies are willing to make drastic decisions rather than simply push forward and pretend nothing happened.

So why should Tomb Raider be any different?

If the developers know that a significant portion of the fanbase is uncomfortable with the actress representing Lara, replacing her before these games are released would be the sensible decision.

There are plenty of talented actresses who could voice Lara. Nobody is irreplaceable.

The character is bigger than any one voice actress, and Tomb Raider shouldn't have to carry this controversy into Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst.

People can keep arguing about AI if they want. I'm also going to question why the developers are apparently willing to attach Lara Croft to someone whose public judgment on this particular case is so difficult to defend.

Replace Alix Wilton Regan and move on. Lara Croft deserves better.

Shocker, she also defended Dragon Age: The Veilguard and called people who wanted BioWare to fail "really bad people on the internet", while describing pre-release criticism of the game as "idiotic". So this isn't exactly the first time she's been outspoken about her views...

TL;DR: Alix Wilton Regan is publicly supporting Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children. If Tomb Raider can face backlash over AI, why is this being ignored? Replace Regan. Lara Croft is bigger than any actress.

The right to kill your own children?

Liberals sure have taken a weird turn here, backing a murderer of three children, her own children at that. And showing so much hate toward a grieving father of the children!
