Lara Croft's Fortnite Crossover for Tomb Raider's 25th Anniversary

Lara Croft's Fortnite Crossover for Tomb Raider's 25th Anniversary

Lara Croft in Fortnite

Tomb Raider turned 25 in 2021, and Lara marked it by showing up in Epic Games' battle royale. She landed in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6, and instead of one skin the Battle Pass carried four versions of her, covering different eras of the character.

Four Versions of Lara

  1. Lara Croft (Classic) - The mid-90s original, dual pistols and all.

  2. Lara Croft (25th Anniversary) - The same look with a modern polish for the celebration.

  3. Lara Croft (Gold Anniversary) - Lara as a gleaming gold trophy.

  4. Lara Croft (Survivor) - The grittier, hardened Lara from the reboot trilogy.

The Rest of the Tomb Raider Gear

Eight more themed items unlocked as you worked through the Battle Pass:

  • Survivor's Pack Back Bling
  • Little Bird Emoticon
  • Both Eyes Open Spray
  • Pry Axe Pickaxe
  • Spelunker's Special Contrail
  • Evasive Maneuvers Emote
  • Salvaged Chute Glider
  • Banner Icon

Lara on the Island

On paper it's an odd fit, since the character built on platforming and puzzle-solving ended up building structures, riding vehicles and fighting in zero-gravity zones, and somehow it worked.

TLDR;

Tomb Raider's 25th anniversary in 2021 put Lara in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6, with four skins in the Battle Pass - Classic, 25th Anniversary, Gold Anniversary and Survivor - plus eight themed accessories.
