Lara Croft joins the hunt in Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight players, prepare to meet your newest Survivor: the iconic Lara Croft. The intrepid explorer, known for her daring adventures and unwavering determination, is stepping into the terrifying world of The Entity.

Having faced countless dangers in her quest for ancient artifacts, Lara Croft brings a unique set of survival skills to the Entity’s realm. As she navigates the treacherous maps and evades the relentless Killer, players can expect to see her resourcefulness and adaptability on full display.

The Tomb Raider Chapter also includes an exclusive Climbing Axe Charm for Lara Croft, a nod to her signature tool.
