- Hit zombie-survival game State of Survival is set to feature iconic heroine Lara Croft
- Tomb Raider will feature in a crossover that introduces a new villain and enemies
- The event goes live just in time for Halloween!
Well, it’s Halloween, and it seems that many developers and publishers have been saving up the spookiest announcement for the day itself. And while this one may not be quite as terrifying, it’s no less impressive. Yes, State of Survival is set to feature the iconic heroine Lara Croft as it crosses over with the Tomb Raider franchise!
In the State of Survival x Tomb Raider crossover, a new threat rises with the introduction of undead warriors known as Oni Stalkers. These are tougher, faster and smarter than your average infected, posing a brand-new challenge that only the arrival of Lara Croft can hope to combat.
The crossover includes the introduction of Lara as a hero, new HQ skins, settlement decorations, a march skin and an avatar frame, alongside new collectible Tomb Raider-themed cards! You’ll need all the help you can get as well, as the new villain Himiko represents an imposing challenge in her hunt for a suitable vessel to reincarnate into.
Ooh, spooky
Funnily enough, despite being somewhat familiar with Tomb Raider I didn’t actually realise that Himiko originated in the series. But then again as far as iconic villains go, Lara has a nasty habit of offing pretty much all of them, so an undead sorceress is probably the best as far as those that fit something as horror-themed as State of Survival!
