Lara Croft, the iconic adventurer from the Tomb Raider series, is set to embark on a new journey as she joins the ranks of Survivors in the popular horror game, Dead by Daylight. Scheduled to make her grand entrance into The Fog on July 16, Lara's arrival is already generating buzz, with a Public Test Build currently available on Steam.
A New Chapter in Survival
The latest DLC storyline plunges Lara into the eerie and unforgiving Realm of the Entity. Stripped of her signature bow and pistols, she must rely on her well-honed survival skills, bravery, and tenacity to escape. These qualities are encapsulated in her three unique Perks, designed to give players a strategic edge:
- Finesse: This perk allows Lara to perform faster vaults when she is healthy. The cooldown period for this ability decreases with each level after executing a fast vault.
- Hardened: Upon unlocking a chest and cleansing or blessing a totem, this perk activates, revealing the Killer's aura instead of causing Lara to scream.
- Specialist: By opening or rummaging through a chest, Lara accumulates tokens. When she achieves a great skill check on a generator, all tokens are consumed, thereby reducing the required progress.
These Perks not only highlight Lara's resourcefulness but also add a fresh layer of strategy for players navigating the perilous world of Dead by Daylight.
More Than Just a New Survivor
Lara Croft's introduction is part of a broader update that includes gameplay tweaks to other perks, updates for certain Killers, and essential bug fixes. The Dead by Daylight: Tomb Raider DLC will be accessible across multiple platforms including PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
While fans eagerly await Lara's debut, they can also dive into the latest crossover event for Dead by Daylight featuring Dungeons & Dragons. This collaboration promises to bring even more excitement and variety to the game, ensuring that players have plenty to explore and enjoy.
As Lara Croft steps into this new realm of horror and survival, her legacy as one of the most beloved video game characters continues to grow. Her presence in Dead by Daylight not only enriches the game's narrative but also offers fans a unique opportunity to experience her indomitable spirit in a whole new light.
