A true gaming icon is joining the ranks of Captain Price, Ghost, and of course, Snoop Dogg.
Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft is coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) and Warzone as a new operator, Activision announced on Aug. 23. The star of the 27-year-old action franchise and several feature films will be getting her own operator bundle in the CoD store.
Croft will be happy to get into the gunsmith and equip herself with her signature dual-wield pistols, which will serve her well in either MW2 multiplayer or Warzone battle royale—and eventually, even Modern Warfare 3 (MW3), too.
This will actually be Lara’s first appearance since 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the most recent entry in the franchise. She will likely fit right in with her fighting skills and traversal abilities that she uses to solve puzzles and raid tombs for treasure and loot.
Here’s everything we know about Lara Croft in Call of Duty.
Lara Croft’s Call of Duty skin release date
Lara Croft’s release date in CoD is set for Sept. 9 shortly after the Season Five Reloaded update in MW2 and Warzone, which launches on Aug. 30.

Lara’s bundle includes “a version of the new melee weapon in the ‘Ice Axe,’ the ‘Mythic Defender’ SMG, and her signature ‘Mach-5’ dual pistols based on the new sidearm coming with the Reloaded update,” Activision said. She also has a finishing move, a vehicle skin, a loading screen, a sticker, and an emblem all for 2,400 CoD Points.
Lara’s design, seen below, looks like a hybrid between the reboot version of Lara and the original one from the PlayStation 1 era. But she just simply would not be Lara Croft without her akimbo pistols, so that’s very realistic, at least.
The best news about Lara’s inclusion is that she will be available to use in both MW2 and Warzone. Subsequently, this means that she will also carry over to MW3 as an operator when it releases later this year on Nov. 10.

Lara Croft’s operator bundle will only be available for a limited time, so Tomb Raider fans should scoop it up as soon as it’s made available in Season Five Reloaded.
