Rumors are swirling in the gaming world that Lara Croft, the iconic adventurer, is on her way back to Fortnite. If the leaks are accurate, she’ll be making her return on March 14, decked out in newly designed gear that sets her apart from her last Fortnite appearance back in 2021. Fans can also look forward to unique accessories like a new Back Bling and pickaxe accompanying this revamped Lara Croft skin. She joins a roster of legendary video game characters like Mortal Kombat’s Sub-Zero, who just made his way into the latest battle pass.
In Fortnite, skins are more than just cosmetic; they’re an integral part of the game’s personality and fanbase excitement. Over the years, we’ve seen an influx of famous faces, such as Doom’s Doom Guy and The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia. And sometimes, Fortnite even surprises us with collaborations from seemingly unrelated franchises like Skibidi Toilet. However, few characters can rival the cultural impact of Lara Croft, so her return is eagerly anticipated by fans who remember her original skin.
SpushFNBR has hinted that a new collaboration centered around Lara Croft is inbound. While details remain scant, it’s expected that the upcoming skin will differ from her previous 2021 versions. Players will have the chance to snag this new look for 1500 V-Bucks, or opt for a bundle that packages in a Chirugai pickaxe, Croft Legacy weapon wrap, Rucksack Back Bling, and Atlantis Scion emote, all set to elevate the virtual Croft experience.
Excitingly, Lara’s return coincides with the debut of a Tomb Raider-themed Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in both Fortnite and Rocket League on March 14. This crossover promises to bring a new flavor to Fortnite’s diverse vehicle lineup, which already boasts everything from sleek sports cars to rugged off-road vehicles. The Jeep package is set to retail at 2200 V-Bucks, expanding gamers’ transportation options in thrilling, new ways.
This current season has been nothing short of a thrill ride—not only due to the updates on Fortnite’s main island but also thanks to the fresh faces added to the battle pass. Chapter 6 Season 2, for example, capped off with Mortal Kombat’s Sub-Zero, sparking speculation about potential new additions from the iconic franchise, with whispers suggesting that Scorpion might be next in line.
It’s a thrilling time for Fortnite fans as the game continues to expand its universe in unexpected and delightful directions. Players eagerly anticipate what Epic Games has hidden up its sleeve next, making every new release a vibrant point of conversation within the gaming community.
