Lara Croft Might Return to Fortnite – Here’s What We Know!

It’s been four years since Lara Croft first made her Fortnite debut, and fans have been eager for her return ever since. With multiple variations already introduced, her skins remain an exclusive badge of honor for those who unlocked them in Chapter 2, Season 6. Now, thanks to a major leak, it looks like the iconic Tomb Raider might be gearing up for another battle royale adventure. But the burning questions remain will it really be Lara, and if so, which version of her will we get?

The Leak That Started It All

Reliable Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR recently sparked excitement across the community by sharing a cryptic hint on social media:

“A globetrotting archaeologist with a penchant for dangerous adventures.”

While Lara Croft wasn’t mentioned by name, let’s be honest that description fits her perfectly. This clue has left fans speculating about not only her potential return but also which version of Lara might appear this time.

Which Lara Croft Could We See?

When Lara Croft was first introduced in Fortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 6, her skins were exclusively available through the Battle Pass. If you missed them in 2021, they’ve remained locked away ever since never making their way to the Item Shop, unlike other gaming crossovers. So, if a new Lara Croft skin is on the horizon, what could it look like?

Here are a few possibilities fans are buzzing about:

• The 2013 Reboot Lara – This version, which already appeared in Chapter 2, seems unlikely to return due to its Battle Pass exclusivity.
• Lara Croft Remastered Trilogy – With the recent remaster of the classic trilogy, we could see a skin inspired by these updated versions.
• Tomb Raider Movies or Netflix Series – Fortnite could take inspiration from the Tomb Raider films or the upcoming animated Netflix series.

With almost 30 years of Lara Croft designs to pull from, Epic Games has no shortage of options keeping the door open for a fresh new take or a nostalgic classic.

When Will Lara Croft Return to Fortnite?

According to leaks, the new Lara Croft skin is expected to arrive with the v34.10 update. However, there’s another twist some fans believe the "archaeologist" clue might not point to Lara at all but to Indiana Jones, especially with his new game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, rumored to hit PlayStation soon.

While Lara Croft remains the most likely candidate, Epic Games loves to keep players guessing. Could we finally see the return of this beloved adventurer, or is Fortnite preparing to drop an unexpected surprise?
