Lara Croft of Tomb Raider has been crowned the most iconic video game character of all time, according to a poll by BAFTA.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has revealed the results of its players’ poll to establish the top characters from video game history. Launched to celebrate the 20th BAFTA Games Awards on Thursday April 11, the poll was engaged with by over 4,000 players from all over the world.
Today’s top 20 list features characters of all shapes and sizes from anthropomorphic animals to gun-wielding spies and brings together the most recognizable faces from across the world of games. These characters, and the games in which they star, boast a collective 44 BAFTA Games Awards between them over the past two decades, and make up some of the best-loved entries into the canon of video game history, and some of the most memorable characters of any medium.
Taking the No. 1 spot is the generation-spanning heroine Lara Croft, star of the Tomb Raider franchise. Lara Croft first appeared in 1996, nearly three decades ago, and since then she has been remastered and evolved several times for television, film, video games and even her own live immersive experience in London, England.
