Lara Croft, the iconic Tomb Raider, is raiding into Naraka: Bladepoint! The fast-paced battle royale game recently unveiled its ambitious third-anniversary plans for August, including a thrilling collaboration with the legendary Tomb Raider franchise. The anniversary celebration trailer showcased exciting additions, such as the brand-new Perdoria map and this highly anticipated crossover.
Since her 1996 debut, Lara Croft has become a video game icon, starring in numerous games, comics, and even an upcoming Netflix animated series. Her dual-wielding prowess and adventurous spirit have made her a globally recognized and beloved character, leading to collaborations with major titles like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Fortnite, and Final Fantasy XV.
Now, this intrepid adventurer joins the fray in Naraka: Bladepoint, a 60-player melee battle royale. Lara's distinctive look will be rendered as a skin for the agile assassin Matari, the Silver Crow, known for her high mobility. While a sneak peek of the skin remains elusive, past collaborations suggest it will encompass a full outfit, hairstyle, and various accessories.
Naraka: Bladepoint's Monumental 2024
The third anniversary promises a spectacular event for Naraka: Bladepoint fans. Beyond the Tomb Raider crossover, players will explore Perdoria, a new map—the first in almost two years—launching July 2nd. Like Holoroth, Perdoria will boast unique environmental features and challenges. Furthermore, a collaboration with CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is slated for later in the year.
While the Tomb Raider crossover is cause for celebration, the game also announced the discontinuation of Xbox One support by August's end. Reassuringly, all player progress and cosmetic items remain linked to Xbox accounts, ensuring a seamless transition to Xbox Series X/S or PC via the Xbox platform.
