Tomb Raider and Lara Croft have become one and the same. She was born at the same time as the show, after all. It’s easy to forget about this smart and brave figure when years go by between games. You can see her in more than one game, though, not just Tomb Raider. Lara Croft has been in a number of games besides the Tomb Raider series, either as a character skin or as a real-life guest.
She sometimes shows up in the background of a scene or in a secret area, but she’s also often used as a character skin in many popular video games. When you’re not seeing Croft, you might find other clues about her, like Croft Manor or her old outfit. For when you need to wait between games, here are some places where you can find the traveler.
Shadow Warrior
Shadow Warrior, a first-person shooter game that came out in 1997, a year after the first Tomb Raider, had a special appearance by Lara Croft. In a secret area, you can find Lara locked up in a cell, looking just like she does in the first game. She has a braid, a tank top, shorts, holsters, and boots on, which is her usual outfit.
When you meet her, the main character will snidely say, “She’s raided her last tomb.” Of course, Croft has been through worse, but it’s still one of her most interesting appearances.
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 2
You can get skins for Lara Croft all the time. Call of Duty added her to Modern Warfare Season 2 as part of the Operator Pack Bundle after she was in two other online games. In other games, her original look is often made to look like a cartoon, but Call of Duty is the first to make her look very real.
For the first time since Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Keeley Hawes plays Lara’s voice actor again. Hawes uses quotes from all three times of Tomb Raider, which makes this version of Lara the best of all three.
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6
Fortnite is different from many others because it has four Lara Croft skins. One of the skins looks like survivor Lara, dressed in her Tomb Raider 2013 outfit of a ponytail, pants, a single gun, and wounds. Next are two Crofts that look the same, but they are not the same.
Lara Croft (Classic) is a throwback to Tomb Raider 1–5, and Lara Croft (25th Anniversary) is a tribute to Tomb Raider Anniversary, which was a remake of the first game released in 2007. Lara Croft (Gold Anniversary) is the last game. The name comes from a scene in both the original game and the remake where Lara steps on King Midas’ hand and turns into gold.
Fall Guys
It’s true that no Fall Guys skin will make you look less like a big bean, but that just makes it more fun to add a famous figure. Croft’s style is a mix of her standard look and her survival era look. She has a braid, holsters, a belt, gloves, and pants on. Her Tomb Raider 2013 necklace is also on her.
She’ll move her fingers like finger guns on each hand while slipping or diving, which is a reference to her famous dual pistols. The younger Croft is still in the game, even though it looks more like the old Lara.
Lara Croft: Guardian Of Light & Temple Of Osiris
The Lara Croft series is not the same as the Tomb Raider series, even though it has the same main character. Guardian of Light, the first of the two games, came out soon after Tomb Raider Underworld in 2008. It came out in 2014, in the time between Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
The Lara Croft series, on the other hand, is a top-down game that’s mostly about tasks and wealth hunts, which is something that has been forgotten sometimes as the Tomb Raider series has grown. Players could play Croft in the puzzle game while they waited for new games in the main series.
Astro’s Playroom
A simple game called Astro’s Playroom is a great way to learn how to use the PS5 controller. People can learn how to play the PS5 there, and video game characters can make cameos there too.
Eggs that talk about Metal Gear Solid, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Snow Rider 3D, Bloodborne, and many more can be found. It’s only fair that Lara Croft be one of the main players. Croft is training parkour as she jumps between two rocks. She is wearing her usual clothes and hair.
Brawlhalla
The fighting game is free to play, and it has a lot of cool characters. Lara Croft is one of the most well-known ones. Croft is one of the Epic Crossover Skins that can be found in Brawlhalla’s Tomb Raider Crossover Event.
There is an extra skin that comes with Lara Croft. Another skin is from her time as a survivor. The first one is her classic look. And luckily, picking a skin doesn’t limit the weapons you can use. As long as you have the right skin on, you can use her bow along with her two guns.
Croft Manor, Outfits, & Parodies
There are games that have Lara as their own character, and games that only talk about her. PowerWash Simulator lets you clean Croft Manor, Lara’s huge home that you could visit in some Tomb Raider games.
In Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, there is a sexist Easter egg that shows Croft’s “skanky” tank top and shorts hung up in a strip club. Also, Asterix and Obelix XXL 2 makes fun of Croft in a less serious way. Movie and video game ads for Tomb Raider, or rather “Larry Croft,” show Larry Croft dressed up as Lara.
