Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft is vaulting into Dead by Daylight next month

Developer Behaviour Interactive officially announced on Tuesday that Tomb Raider icon Lara Croft will be coming to Dead by Daylight after being the subject of multiple leaks.

Dead by Daylight has never exclusively been about horror, although any characters added should be able to handle themselves against the Entity and all other kinds of obstacles inside The Fog. And Lara Croft certainly fits the bill. According to an official post, this is the Lara straight out of the 2013 Tomb Raider, which takes place on the island of Yamatai.

“Her memories of Yamatai may fade with time, overtaken by nightmarish black fog. Yet the lessons she learned will remain ingrained, even in the face of endless terror,” the post reads. “While someone with lesser resolve might scream, Lara understands the severity of that reaction, instead using it as an opportunity to regroup and scout her enemies.”

Unlike other Survivors that have been added over the years, Lara Croft comes alone, without a Killer or map. She does come with three perks though:

  • Finesse, which makes your fast vaults 20% faster when you’re healthy.
  • Hardened, which reveals the Killer’s aura for a limited amount of time after you unlock a chest and cleanse/bless a totem.
  • Specialist, which helps you gain extra tokens when you open or rummage through a chest. Consume all tokens when you do a great skill check on a generator, but for each consumed, reduce the maximum required progress for that generator.

Behaviour announced Lara alongside a big patch, which is now available in the Public Test Build (PTB). Version 8.1.0 was set to have a feature called Disconnect Bots, which would allow a bot to spawn if a player disconnects during loading. However, because of negative player feedback, the feature won’t go live. Either way, you can check out Lara Croft along with the new balance changes in the PTB before she officially arrives on July 16.

This is just the latest change Behaviour has made to Dead by Daylight this year. We’ve gotten survivors like Alan Wake, crossovers with properties like Dungeons & Dragons, and news about multiple spinoff titles.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like
An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
