In a notable development for Fortnite enthusiasts, Lara Croft, the iconic character from the Tomb Raider franchise, could be making her long-awaited return to the game this week, according to recent leaks.
A reliable source has indicated that a new Lara Croft skin is set to debut in the Fortnite shop, featuring an outfit reminiscent of her appearance in the 2003 game, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Players can expect to acquire Lara for 1,500 V-Bucks, with accompanying accessories priced between 300 and 800 V-Bucks. The complete Tomb Raider package will be available for 2,200 V-Bucks, excluding the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which will be sold separately for the same price.
Fortnite has established itself as a hub for crossovers with beloved characters from various media, including television, film, and video games. Recent rumors suggest that other high-profile collaborations may be on the horizon, further cementing Fortnite’s position at the forefront of interactive entertainment.
Lara Croft has been absent from the gaming landscape since 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but a new installment of the series is reportedly in the works. Additionally, a live-action Tomb Raider series from a prominent streaming service may premiere before the new game is released, with speculation surrounding the casting of a well-known actress in the lead role.
Stay tuned for updates as the Fortnite community anticipates the return of Lara Croft and what it could mean for gameplay and cross-promotions.
