This is an example of what we call a cultural allusion.
Explained briefly, a cultural allusion is a brief, indirect reference to something with a historical, cultural, literary or political relationship. It can be a person, a place, a thing, or even an idea. It's important to note that it not always detail the person, place or thing to which it refers.
As the main character in a videogame series, Lara Croft is part of modern culture, therefore being a modern culture allusion in this example.
Have a great week!
