Tomb Raider fans in shambles after Lara Croft turns up at Opening Night Live as part of a Naraka: Bladepoint crossover, not the long-overdue new game they got excited for
Yesterday's Lara Croft teaser had Tomb Raider fans anticipating a new game reveal - so they were all very disappointed to learn that it was a trailer for a Naraka: Bladepoint crossover instead.
At Gamescom Opening Night Live yesterday, the trailer just below debuted, opening with Lara Croft exploring a mysterious new area. It turns out the new trailer wasn't actually for a new Tomb Raider game, as many had anticipated from the opening few seconds, but was instead for a forthcoming crossover with battle royale game Nakara: Bladepoint.

The responses to the tweet above from Tomb Raider fans aren't kind. "Nobody wanted this. We wanted a TR game," reads one response, while another adds "Lara Croft is everywhere but not her own game." You can take a look at the tweets below for similarly disappointed reactions from Tomb Raider fans to the new trailer elsewhere on Twitter.
