Tomb Raider detail quietly shows developer unifying classic and reboot timelines

UPDATE 4.45pm UK: Consider me educated. I have looked into this further, and it turns out not only is Trinity the name of the military order in the rebooted Tomb Raider games, but it is also the code name for the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, which was conducted by the United States Army back in 1945. And that could be what the Tomb Raider website is referring to. Whoops!
So, yes, the mention of Trinity on the Tomb Raider site may well be a coincidence that left the super fan in me a little too enthusiastic. Reader, I confess, I may have jumped the gun a bit here. I am going to send a message to the Tomb Raider team though and ask if they have any comment on the wording in the blog post, because my curiosity has now been piqued even more.
The original story continues below.
ORIGINAL STORY 1.30pm UK: The official Tomb Raider site has perhaps given us little tease as to how it plans to unify the timelines between the original Core trilogy and the recent Survivor trilogy.
Back in 2021, Crystal Dynamics confirmed that future games in the franchise will unite the two sets of Tomb Raider timelines. Since then, we have seen Lara Croft pop up in Call of Duty with a design which mixed that 'Classic Lara' look of old, including her dual pistols, tank top and braid, alongside elements from the more recent rebooted games. A subsequent image shared on the Tomb Raider website earlier this month also gave us another look at a unified Lara (see header image above).
But while we have a pretty good idea of how Lara will look in Crystal Dynamics' upcoming-but-still-very-under-wraps Tomb Raider game, how the two trilogies' lore would be unified was still a bit of a mystery. Now however, a sneaky line of text on the Tomb Raider website has given us our first idea of how the two timelines will connect.
Before I get into it, I will give you a quick refresh on some aspects from both trilogies, so please be aware of spoilers for several Tomb Raider games below.

A strange figure is seen in the resulting crater, but nothing is said about who or what it is. The game then skips forward in time, and sees Lara hired by an enigmatic businesswoman named Jacqueline Natla. She is tasked with obtaining the Scion of Atlantis, an ancient and mysterious artefact. This sets Lara off on a globetrotting adventure that eventually culminates at a monster-filled Atlantean pyramid on a volcanic island.
It turns out Jacqueline Natla is actually an ancient Atlantean leader who was imprisoned after she
