Support an aspiring female game dev with these 25th anniversary Tomb Raider box art prints

destructoid.com:

We all love celebrating the anniversaries of our favorite classic games — why not support the next generation of game designers in the process? In honor of Tomb Raider‘s 25th anniversary, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have partnered with a number of renowned artists to create a limited edition set of reimagined box art prints from the series. In addition to creating beautiful art to help fans commemorate the special occasion, 100% of proceeds from sales of the prints will go to Girls Make Games, a fundraising organization that encourages young girls to pursue careers in the gaming industry. Fifteen different artists contributed to the project, and all of their work can be seen in this gallery, where you can also download specially themed computer wallpapers.

The prints are being sold as a bundle of 15 for $49.99 from February 14 (which the website excitedly tells us is Lara’s birthday) through March 7, 2022.

These purchases are pre-orders, with the prints expected to ship sometime in April. Square Enix has also set up an official website where you can follow all of the festivities they have planned for the 25th anniversary.

I think this is a fantastic partnership to celebrate Tomb Raider‘s 25th anniversary, considering Lara Croft was one of the first female protagonists of a tentpole series in games. Girls Make Games has done and continues to do incredible work in making the video game industry a more welcoming, inclusive place, as well as celebrating women’s contributions to the titles we love.[Featured Image Source: Game Informer]
