Dead by Daylight’s trend of introducing some of the most iconic characters into its game continues, as Behavior Interactive announces that Tomb Raider is the next franchise in line.
Starting 16 July 2024, Lara Croft will be added to the game as a playable Survivor. While the studio hasn’t announced if there is also a Killer on the way, one X/Twitter user might’ve just spoiled the surprise.
Lara Croft and One Mystery Killer Coming to Dead by Daylight
It’s not just a new Tomb Raider game that Lara Croft will be coming to, as Behavior Interactive has confirmed the talented treasure hunter from the Survivor trilogy will be coming to the game.
Take a look at her description from the official blog post:
Courageous and resourceful, Lara Croft has braved life-threatening expeditions, amassing battle scars and adrenaline-fueled memories. Whether facing the perils of the supernatural or the extremes of nature, Lara has proven herself to be among gaming’s most formidable – and honorable – heroes.
Unfortunately (but fortunately for us), like many other unsuspecting Survivors, Croft has been swept up into the Fog, condemned for eternity to being The Fog’s plaything.
Fans are happy to see her there, though.
While she might have gone through a ton of horrors in the Survivor trilogy, those experiences were just a teaser of what The Fog is truly capable of.
She won’t be going in completely blind, however.
- New Perk: Finesse
- This perk activates while you are healthy. This perk goes on cool-down for 40/35/30 seconds after performing a fast vault.
- Your fast vaults are 20% faster.
- New Perk: Hardened
- After you unlock a chest and cleanse or bless a totem, this perk activates. Anytime you would scream, reveal the Killer’s aura for 3/4/5 seconds instead.
- New Perk: Specialist
- Each time you open or rummage through a chest, gain 1 token, up to 3/3/3. When you do a great skill check on a generator, consume all tokens. Then for each token consumed, reduce the maximum required generator progress by 2/3/4.
With all of the experience and expertise she’s amassed over the years, she’s got an ample amount of Perks that are listed in the official Dead by Daylight subreddit.
Fans Can’t-Wait to Play as Croft
The fan reaction to Croft’s entrance has been off the charts. Truly, who wouldn’t want to vault and run around a hostile environment like Croft while they escape the clutches of insane killers?
With Dead by Daylight‘s unique structure, the learning curve can be harsh.
Pre-existing fans of the game are sure new ones coming from the Tomb Raider franchise won’t latch onto it so fast.
It’s time to brush up your skills and prepare for the arrival of the Queen herself, Lara Croft.
You’ve got a month ahead of you, so there’s no rush. Hop in, farm some Bloodpoints for Croft, and most importantly, have fun.
