Fortnite's latest collaboration brings one of gaming's most iconic heroines back to the battle royale island – but this time with a distinctly edgier flair. The Lara Croft (2000s) outfit drops into the Item Shop on March 14, channeling the darker aesthetic from the cult classic Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
The Y2K Tomb Raider Returns
This iteration of Ms. Croft arrives sporting her signature early 2000s attitude, complete with the character's recognizable smoky eyeliner that defined her look during this controversial but memorable era in Tomb Raider history. Unlike previous Lara appearances in Fortnite, this version embraces the grittier, more complex persona that emerged in the sixth installment of the classic series.
Players will have unprecedented customization options for this new Lara outfit, allowing them to mix and match different components to create their preferred look. The available customization options include alternate pants or shorts, different vest styles, and the option to add or remove glasses – perfect for those who want to fine-tune their raiding aesthetic before dropping into battle.
Complete Your Angel of Darkness Arsenal
No Tomb Raider outfit would be complete without signature gear, and this bundle delivers a comprehensive collection of themed items:
- Tomb Raider's Satchel Back Bling: Keep essential supplies close at hand with Lara's iconic bag
- Croft Legacy Wrap: Customize your weapons with this Tomb Raider-themed wrap
- Chirugai Pickaxe: Wield the mystical bladed disc weapon from Angel of Darkness
- Atlantean Scion Emote: Show off your treasure-hunting prowess with this distinctive emote
- Tomb Raider Car Decal: Customize your Fortnite vehicles with the iconic Tomb Raider branding
Perhaps most exciting for fans is the inclusion of the Tomb Raider Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon, allowing squads to cruise around the island in authentic Croft style while hunting down that Victory Royale.

The entire Lara Croft (2000s) collection will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop from March 14, 2025, at 8:00 PM EDT through March 21, 2025, at 8:00 PM EDT. This gives players a full week to secure these items before they potentially vault away for an undetermined period.
