Fortnite’s collaboration with other renowned franchises is nothing new to veteran gamers. Since its release, Epic Games has collaborated with multiple renowned franchises to bring new content to the game to expand the fanbase. Once again, current leaks suggest that in a thrilling move, Fortnite is bringing Lara Croft back to the game. Well, it’s not the first time that Tomb Raider enthusiasts received this iconic protagonist; she had appeared previously in Fortnite, but the exciting part is that this time, she is reportedly coming with her distinctive 2000s style. This has ignited the entire Fortnite and Tomb Raider communities by blending nostalgia with the dynamic world of Fortnite.
The first time Epic Games collaborated with the Tomb Raider franchise was during Chapter 2, Season 6, and as part of that partnership, Lara Croft was introduced as part of the Battle Pass offerings. Though that particular season of Fortnite had different issues, the Lara Croft skin was worth attracting attention. As they progressed through the Battle Pass, players unlocked multiple styles of the character, reflecting her evolution over the years.
This appearance of Lara Croft in Fortnite was more than just a simple collaboration or cosmetic addition. It signified the fusion of two iconic franchises, and most importantly, players loved the opportunity to play as this legendary archeologist. It looks like those who missed the chance during Season 2 will be getting it, as the leakers suggest once again Epic Games is about to bring it during Chapter 6 Season 2.
Fortnite has one of the most active communities, where something is always going on. Fortnite leakers are always on their mission to unveil new secrets to players, and one of the most authentic Fortnite leakers, Shiina, has recently teased the appearance of Lara Croft, saying, “LARA CROFT IS GETTING A NEW SKIN THIS UPDATE.” As per the leak, this upcoming Lara Croft skin will be part of the Lara Croft (2000s) pack.
At this point, not much information about the skin was revealed, but anticipations say that because the previous skin captured this iconic protagonist during her 90s, the upcoming one will show Lara Croft during the early 2000s, a period marked by games like Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Aside from that, these leaks also suggest that this skin will be accompanied by various cosmetics and even themed vehicles to enhance the player's experience. Well, this approach aligns with Fortnite's tradition of offering immersive and thematic content, enriching the overall gameplay experience. Since this update is out, players are extremely excited about this collaboration, especially those who have missed the previous chance to play as this iconic character in Fortnite.
Fortnite collaborating with renowned franchises to bring iconic characters isn’t something mind-blowing. After thousands of collaborations, only a few of these collaborations actually make players happy, and this Tomb Raider collaboration is among them. It is not yet confirmed whether this is actually happening or not, because Epic Games stated no official information about it. However, if it happens, it will be something massive for sure.
