Activision has confirmed Tomb Raider protagonist Lara Croft will be joining the Call of Duty universe on 9th September 2023 as a purchasable Operator in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone. She'll arrive in the Season 5 Reloaded update, which also brings rapper 21 Savage and Modern Warfare character Mace to the game. With her iconic dual pistols, you can check out Lara Croft's in-game model above.
A blog post on the Call of Duty website goes into more detail, revealing that buying the character bundle also gives you her Ice Axe as a melee weapon, a Mythic Defender SMG, and the dual pistols as sidearms. You'll also get a vehicle skin for the Chop Top, a sticker, emblem, and a new loading screen. Fans of 21 Savage and Mace can look forward to similar offerings. Since this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ports over a lot of the current content, you'll be able to take the Lara Croft skin into the next instalment too.
Will you don the Lara Croft skin in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone next month? Let us know in the comments below.

Used to watch people play Warzone but they all stopped after briefly trying 2.0. Do they still do the cool original skins or is just nicki minaj, lara croft etc
Lmao CoD how far you’ve fallen
Call of Duty looks to be becoming a kids playground fun fair type of game. What's next to join the rosters, SpongeBob, little mermaid.... Ezio & buyek lol
I see CoD isn't serious business anymore.
Which Lara Croft skin is this? Early games?
@Dynamq depends on which little mermaid I guess 👀
Next update will be the fast food warfare bundle - you'll get the likes of Ronald McDonald, The King, Wendy, Jack in the Box, Grimace, The Ham Burglar, Colonel Sanders, and the cows from Chick-Fil-A!
@PocketHotDogs ronald mcdonald would be killer lol
At least she looks more Lara than Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara.
There comes a time where you just have to admit that you are too old to enjoy something anymore. My day of sneaking through the long grass of Chernobyl with a sniper rifle has been replaced by Fortnite.
I hope Gen Z and Gen Alpha have fun with it.
Trying to jump on the Fortnite hype lmao
Didn't think I see the day where the mighty cod would be trying desperately to chase another game
To paraphrase Jurrassic Park:
Your game-devs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Lara looks great, makes me wanna get mw2.
What the hell is a 21 savage and mace?
@Dynamq problem is this junk sells millions so only expect to see more in the future
Ok, I'll just let it out: This is stupid.
Yes, I will just outright avoid buying it or paying for it and let those who want it, enjoy it.
But I'll be damned if I'm not gonna scream this on the way down! Get off my lawn! Squeeze the toothpaste from the end, not the middle! :: shaking fist ::
@Toot1st mumble rappers probably
@Cherip-the-Ripper
Well I guess are there any water pistols yet in CoD? If so then it's just a matter of a squirt to zap mermaid legless again 🤣
I just want a new Tomb Raider game. 😑
@ChromaticDracula
Seriously though…squeeze the toothpaste from the end, y’all.
Call of Fortnite
@Dynamq bruhhhh I kid you not, I found this gun yesterday in Cold War
I suppose you could trade out the fish for a lil mermaid 😂
now that tomb raider IP is dead in the hands of embracer, this is the best you are going to get. enjoy
Please, no more.
The First Lady of gaming has become a punchline for Call of Duty. Is nothing sacred?
Looks a bit like Sasha Grey.
I actually really like the looks of this Lara. Might be a great design for the next Tomb raider or remake of the classics.
I don't see the problem with this. I know it's the internet and we're supposed to complain, but still.
What's the problem with this announcement?!?
We had football players like Messi in the past.
I think Lara Croft is actually a pretty nice announcement.
Why are people only complaining the whole day? 😠 Shame on you
@PocketHotDogs Ronald could be a cross over for killer klowns from outer space game
I’ll probably pick this up, be nice to represent my long love of the Tomb Raider franchise since childhood, despite its flaws.
Same with Fortnite, I tend to pick up a few skins a year that speak to something I’ve held close gaming wise over the years.
Also can’t wait for the next CoD, me and the missus actually make a good team in Warzone, much to the surprise of both of us, it’s sort of become a weekly ritual.
Funny how Lara's CoD skin looks more better (imo) compared to her Square Enix incarnation.
