Call of Duty's Lara Croft mixes classic and reboot Tomb Raider designs

The Call of Duty Tomb Raider bundle is slated to release next month, on 9th September.

Lara will be joining the chaos as part of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone's season 5 Reloaded content drop.

Earlier this month, Phil Spencer stated that there is a lot more work to getting
