The next Dead by Daylight survivor arrives in July, though developer Behaviour Interactive hasn’t revealed their identity. However, a prominent leaker suggests the new character will be Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft.

What would the Dead by Daylight Tomb Raider crossover include?

The leaker, Gumpy, didn’t say much about Lara Croft as a Dead by Daylight survivor. However, we know from the Year 9 roadmap that there won’t be any new Killers or maps in July. The next killer arrives in August, and the next new map will be in December. Still, new content is always good, and Tomb Raider fans might appreciate Lara’s inclusion.

News of the Tomb Raider crossover comes from a prominent leaker called Gumpy. This leak was just a short comment under a recent developer livestream. However, Gumpy’s leaks are highly trusted in the Dead by Daylight community. Gumpy previously leaked advanced information about the Unknown and the Dungeons and Dragons and Castlevania Crossovers. Therefore, it seems likely that Lara Croft will be the next new Dead by Daylight survivor.

Of course, one question fans might have is which version of the character this will be. Crystal Dynamics unveiled its “unified” Lara Croft in February, combining elements from both the original and 2013 design. However, as fans pointed out, reboot Lara is probably the best fit for a Dead by Daylight survivor.

As one Reddit user pointed out, the 2013 game drew some inspiration from the 2006 horror film The Descent. A scene in the game where Lara Croft is swimming through a river of blood comes directly from that movie. While 2013’s Tomb Raider still isn’t exactly a horror game, it certainly has its moments and definitely puts Lara through the wringer.

A new Tomb Raider game may be in the works, according to recent rumors. Reportedly, the upcoming game takes Lara Croft to India and features a vast, seamless, open world. Lara will also reportedly have a parachute and motorcycle to traverse the environment.

New open-world Tomb Raider game reportedly launching in less than a year

The leak comes from a twitter user going by V Scooper, who has a reputation as a reliable source. “Next TOMB RAIDER game will be fully open world and set in India,” reads their post. “Featuring vast sceneries, free use of the motorcycle, parachute, and common Lara’s traversal methods to unrestrictedly navigate across a big map and its challenges.” They added that it should release in less than a year, assuming there are no delays, “But this is not totally locked.” They also said there would be more information “soon.”

As with all leaks, fans should treat this one with a healthy degree of skepticism. Still, this isn’t the first indication that a new Tomb Raider game was on the way relatively soon. Notably, Crystal Dynamics revealed the new “unified” Lara Croft back in February. The studio also confirmed last year that Embracer Group’s downsizing wouldn’t impact Tomb Raider or Perfect Dark, though that statement was quite a while ago.

The last completely new mainline Tomb Raider game was Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which concluded the “Survivor Trilogy” in 2018. The 2013, 2015, and 2018 games had some open-world elements but were still primarily linear. A truly open-world game could be an excellent way to launch the next phase of this long-running series. However, it will depend on how well Crystal Dynamics balances quantity with quality.

Crystal Dynamics‘ new website for the Tomb Raider series has revealed artwork that gives us our first look at a “unified” Lara Croft. The studio hasn’t revealed the next game beyond confirming its existence, but did say back in 2021 that it’s “working to unify” the original releases with its rebooted series that kicked off in 2013.

New Lara Croft design is tucked away in Tomb Raider website’s members-only area

Yesterday, Crystal Dynamics took to Twitter to encourage fans to check out the new Tomb Raider website that has a members-only exclusive area. Those who signed up then spotted the Lara Croft wallpaper below:

This wallpaper isn’t visible if you’re not a member, for some reason. Nevertheless, you can also see a glimpse of Lara’s face above in the new Tomb Raider logo that we’ve shared as the featured image of this article (also seen in the official tweet below). This leads us to believe that this is the look that Crystal Dynamics is going with.

There’s no word on when we’ll get an update on the next Tomb Raider game. Crystal Dynamics, which is owned by the embattled Embracer Group, recently underwent a round of layoffs. However, the studio reassured fans that its upcoming game has not been impacted.

The Tomb Raider I-III Remastered PS5 trophy list has gone live on the PlayStation servers and has confirmed previous reports that the collection doesn’t have a Platinum trophy — or gold trophies either, for that matter. On the contrary, PS4 players get a separate list for each of the three games, and all of them have their own Platinum trophy.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered has 272 trophies on PS4

Due to the separate lists for Tomb Raider I, Tomb Raider II, and Tomb Raider III (as seen on Exophase), the PS4 versions of the games have a total of 272 trophies because each has a Platinum trophy. Previous rumors have stated the reason for this is that PS5 game collections can’t have separate trophy lists unless there are individual launchers for each title. Sony is yet to confirm this stance, but it’s the explanation that makes the most sense right now.

On PS5, only the Tomb Raider I trophies are included in the base game list. There are then separate DLC lists for Unfinished Business, Tomb Raider II, Golden Mask, Tomb Raider III, and The Lost Artifact. On PS4, each of the three games has a DLC list for its respective expansion. Tomb Raider and Unfinished Business have 99 trophies (100 on PS4), Tomb Raider II and Golden Mask have 89 trophies (90 on PS4), and Tomb Raider III and The Lost Artifact have 81 trophies (82 on PS4).

Prepare for multiple playthroughs as there are trophies for completing each game on New Game+ mode. There are also conflicting trophies that can’t be earned in the same playthrough like those to Defeat T-Rex and not hurt T-Rex in Tomb Raider I. All collectibles will need to be found, including all ways to die, while on the other hand, there are trophies for speedruns. Regardless, players will need to allocate a significant amount of time if they want to complete the list.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered will come with a new photo mode when the collection launches next week. Not only will players be able to capture snapshots of any of the game’s exciting moments, but there will also be plenty of opportunities to stop the action and pose for the perfect picture.

Making use of the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered enhanced visuals

The new photo mode will seemingly allow the action to be paused at any time to take a photo. Once paused, the camera can be rotated through 360^o to take the photo from any angle while the roll and field of view can also be adjusted.

Once the ideal angle has been found, Lara Croft’s outfit can be changed. This includes facial expressions, classic outfits like the black catsuit, and a variety of weapons, such as the MP5, a harpoon gun, or her pistols. There is even a selection of poses, from sitting (albeit seemingly in the middle of the air) to diving through the air while taking out enemies.

The camera can also be detached to capture panoramic views. There’s even the chance to use it to spot hidden collectibles or look at a puzzle from a different angle, something that’s likely to come in handy if you want to earn all of the collection’s 200 trophies. The bad news is that while the trophy lists are yet to go live on PlayStation servers, previous leaks have suggested that only the PS4 versions will have Platinum trophies.

Not only will Tomb Raider I-III Remastered include the three original games, but the collection also has all expansions and secret levels. These are Unfinished Business for Tomb Raider, Golden Mask for Tomb Raider II, and The Lost Artifact from Tomb Raider III. The remastered games also have modern control options, new 3D assets, real-time lighting effects, and other “surprises that players will have to discover.”

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered trophies have found their way online, and it looks like the coveted Platinums are missing on the PS5. As previousy confirmed, the collection will release on February 14 with over 200 trophies. But for some reason, only the PS4 version will reward players with Platinum trophies.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered PS5 trophies may have been impacted by Sony’s changes

Folks over at Insider Gaming got their hands on Tomb Raider Remastered’s trophy lists, and were the first to report that they’re missing all three Platinums on the PS5. A discussion subsequently ensued on ResetEra, where one user claims that the curious case of PS5’s missing Platinums — which we also saw in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III — are due to changes that Sony has made to the PS5’s trophy system.

Apparently, unless individual games in a collection have their own individual launchers, they cannot have separate trophy lists. “You can see this with Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves – because it’s all one launcher, Lost Legacy trophies had to be added in as a DLC pack and only Uncharted 4 had a Platinum,” user madbuk explained.

Although madbuk’s explanation makes sense, we’ll take it with a grain of salt because Sony hasn’t officially commented on the matter. Here’s hoping a fix is inbound.
