With characters like Master Chief and Kratos, it’s no surprise
Epic
Games is looking to expand the crossover cast of skins.
Each of these skins come from different publishers and developers,
so expanding to Tomb Raider would mean some communication with
Square Enix.
A Fortnite data miner leaked the codename of a future female
crossover skin, Typhoon. Fans determined that the next Fortnite
character could probably be Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
The new leak comes from game data miner ‘Mang0e,’ who recently shared
a couple of screenshots of game code referencing a new
crossover/bounty hunter skin. The character is listed with the
codename ‘Typhoon’ and will, according to the leak, be a female
character that possibly includes ‘reactive’ styles. The hunter’s
island portal will allegedly have some variety of ‘flicker.’
Then the official Tomb Raider account also tweeted out a possible
clue on January 11. The tweet includes emojis for a pickaxe, a
woman running, and an arrow. It's possible the pickaxe might just
be a reference to Lara Croft's ice pick featured in Rise of Tomb
Raider, but few things happen by coincidence in AAA game PR.
Commenters under the tweet shared some of their speculations,
stating that the character could also be Aloy from Horizon: Zero
Dawn, or even Samus from Metroid.
Since this skin has reactive styles, it’s possible that as the
player takes damage, the skin will get bloodier, similar to how the
health system works in…
