The iconic gaming legend, Lara Croft, is rumored to be returning to Fortnite after a long four-year break. We last saw Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft back in Chapter Two, season six when she was added as a battle pass skin in 2021, but it looks like she will be returning for Fortnite Chapter Six, season two.
How to get Lara Croft in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 2
In Chapter Six, season two, Lara Croft should be returning to Fortnite with a brand new design as an Item Shop skin. Lara Croft, and a lot of exciting cosmetics, will arrive in Fortnite on March 14, 2025.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get the original Lara Croft outfit from Fortnite Chapter Two, season six, as it was exclusively part of that season’s battle pass.
According to Shiina on X (formerly Twitter), information about the adventurer’s return was leaked in the latest update. A description was uncovered which read that “a globetrotting archaeologist with a penchant for dangerous adventures” will be included at some point.
Some players have obviously been wishing the original Lara Croft skin would return, but this is not to be. Epic Games has previously stated that some battle pass skins will return to the Item Shop, but these will only be skins from Chapter Five, season four onwards. As Lara Croft was from Chapter Two, season six, she won’t be included in this.
Luckily, because Lara Croft has had so many redesigns and various survival outfits throughout the years, there are plenty of outfits and styles to choose from for the next skin release. While some players hoped for a true Angelina Jolie likeness from the 2001 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie, others wished the outfit would be based on the recent games such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
The Lara Croft likeness arriving in the Fortnite Item Shop will be inspired by the less-popular title Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. This decision seems odd, but it is to commemorate the release of Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. This move is interesting as it seems Epic Games is making room for even more Lara Croft outfits in the future.
The Lara Croft bundle, which will cost 2,200 V-Bucks altogether, will include:
- Lara Croft (2000s) with additional styles (1,500 V-Bucks)
- Tomb Raider’s Satchel back bling (300 V-Bucks)
- Chirugai Pickaxe (800 V-Bucks)
- Croft Legacy Wrap (500 V-Bucks)
- Atlantean Scion Emote (400 V-Bucks)
Excitingly, there will also be a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X Tomb Raider vehicle skin for the SUV, costing 2,200 V-Bucks.
Lara and her bundle will be coming to Fortnite on March 14, 2025. In the meantime, check out our list of the best Fortnite skins, ranked.
