The official Tomb Raider YouTube account dropped a new trailer for the game over the weekend. It features all sorts of enemies players will encounter when Shadow of the Tomb Raider launches on Sept. 14. It also features an American soldier mispronouncing “Lara Croft.”

This, of course, rips open a wound as old as the Tomb Raider franchise itself: What is the correct or official pronunciation of “Lara,” and are American characters still allowed to mispronounce it, with the understanding that Yanks are supposed to mispronounce everything, such as “schedule,” and “aluminum.”
