Lara Croft, the iconic Tomb Raider, is raiding her way into Naraka: Bladepoint! This fast-paced battle royale game is celebrating its third anniversary this August with a bang, and a major part of the festivities includes a collaboration with the legendary Tomb Raider franchise.
The Tomb Raider series, a gaming icon since 1996, boasts a vast universe extending beyond games to comics and even an upcoming Netflix animated show. Lara Croft herself is a globally recognized character, a highly popular female protagonist who's already starred in crossovers with titles like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Fortnite, and Final Fantasy XV. Now, she'll be joining the fray in Naraka: Bladepoint's thrilling 60-player melee battles.
Lara's appearance will be a skin for the agile assassin Matari, also known as the Silver Crow—a popular choice among Naraka players. While a sneak peek of the skin is yet to be unveiled, past collaborations suggest it will be a comprehensive cosmetic package, including a new outfit, hairstyle, and various accessories.
Naraka: Bladepoint's Massive 2024 Anniversary
The third-anniversary celebration is a game-changer for Naraka: Bladepoint. Besides the exciting Tomb Raider event, players can anticipate the arrival of Perdoria, a brand-new map—the first in almost two years! Launching July 2nd, Perdoria promises unique challenges, secrets, and gameplay mechanics unseen in previous maps. Further fueling the excitement is an upcoming collaboration with CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, slated for later this year.
However, alongside the exciting additions, Naraka: Bladepoint will be sunsetting Xbox One support by the end of August. Don't worry though! All progress and acquired cosmetics will remain linked to players' Xbox accounts, ensuring a seamless transition to Xbox Series X/S or the PC Xbox app.
