The announcement made on X, formerly known as Twitter, displayed a silhouette of Lara with her iconic dual pistols inside a cave, observing soldiers descending into a damaged city.

"Pistols ready. Prepared for drop-in. Lara Croft is coming to Call of Duty," the game's official account posted.

While specific details are not yet disclosed, players will probably need to purchase a Call of Duty bundle to play as Lara Croft.

After Square Enix Holding Co. Ltd SQNX sold Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider license last year, the future of the series was uncertain.

In December, Crystal Dynamics and Amazon.com, Inc.'s AMZN Amazon Games revealed its collaboration on a new Tomb Raider game.

Though specific information remains undisclosed, it's confirmed to be a "single-player, narrative-driven adventure," possibly developed using Unreal Engine 5, as per IGN, per a Kokatu report.
