Season Update Archives

The Call of Duty franchise takes another intriguing turn by introducing Lara Croft, the iconic Tomb Raider, as its latest playable character. This move adds to the growing list of real-life and fictional personalities appearing in the franchise, such as Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, and Kevin Durant. But what does Lara Croft's inclusion mean for Call of Duty players and the wider gaming community? Here’s a detailed look. How to Get Lara Croft in Your Squad As of now, Activision has not released specific details on how players can add Lara Croft to their line-up. However, based on past releases like Nicki Minaj who was part of the $10 season 5 battle pack, it's plausible that Lara Croft will be included in a similar bundle. While no official statement is available, it is likely that players will need to purchase a package to unlock this character. In-Game Items and Weapons Activision is expected to include Croft-specific items, skins, and weapons for purchase. It's anticipated that Lara’s signature dual-wielded pistols will be part of the initial package, although this has not been confirmed officially. When Will Lara Croft Make Her Debut? There is no confirmed date for Lara Croft's arrival on Call of Duty. However, with a mid-season update for season 5 on the horizon, this could be an opportune moment for introducing the famed treasure hunter to the game. Activision has not responded to queries about the character's pricing and availability. Broader Context: Call of Duty and Tomb Raider This crossover comes at an interesting time for both franchises. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is slated to hit consoles in November. On the other side, the last mainline game from the Tomb Raider series was 2018’s "Shadow of the Tomb Raider." Crystal Dynamics and Amazon recently announced a new Tomb Raider game that will focus on a "single-player, narrative-driven adventure" utilizing Unreal Engine 5. Amazon is also developing a Tomb Raider TV series, although its premiere date is yet to be disclosed. Conclusion The inclusion of Lara Croft as a playable character in Call of Duty is a noteworthy event that could both invigorate and diversify the game's appeal. However, the absence of official details leaves the community speculating on the nature of her inclusion. As we await more information, one thing is clear: the lines between different franchises are becoming increasingly blurred, making the gaming landscape ever more interconnected. Also Read:
