'Brawlhalla' (ALL) Kicks Off Crossovers With Tomb Raider's Lara Croft

by Rainier on Feb. 26, 2020 @ 9:11 a.m. PST

Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla.

Vikings, pirates, aliens, and more battle in a tourney of champions for bragging rights, mead, and the joy of delivering a beatdown. Players can play classic four player local matches, fight online, or create a custom lobby to challenge friends.

Odin, King of the Gods, built a heaven for warriors and called it Valhalla. On his command, Valkyries, beautiful goddesses of war, scoured the universe for the greatest warriors to fill this hall. To Odin’s surprise, the Valkyries brought back not only vikings, but legendary warriors of every description, and soon pirates, cowboys, Mongol warriors, Amazons, even monsters and aliens roamed the hall.

While waiting for Ragnarok, the warriors become bored. Constant battle spilled out of the Great Hall, and Asgard was smashed to rubble again and again. Odin, pulling his hair out in a last moment of desperation, set up the grand tournament. Now, the best warriors from every time and place fight to become champion, while the Valkyries constantly venture far and wide to bring back warriors who will earn them honor in Brawlhalla.


Ubisoft announced that Lara Croft from Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider will explore the halls of Brawlhalla as an Epic Crossover. Players can now make their own luck as Lara Croft in a special Tomb Raider in-game event that kicks off today through March 16. The in-game event features a new game mode, map and music, as well as a new Podium, main menu takeover and bonus daily login gold.

The Lara Croft Epic Crossover mirrors the abilities of existing Brawlhalla Legend Diana but charts her own course with unique signature attack designs, custom select animations, sound effects, two brand-new weapon skins, and a dedicated roster spot.

A first for Epic Crossovers, Lara Croft also comes bundled with an additional skin: Survivor. Survivor Lara Croft has two more weapon skins (for four weapon skins total) and, when selected, changes the Lara Croft roster spot. The Lara Croft Epic Crossover bundle is available for 300 Mammoth Coins via the in-game store and will still be available for purchase after the event concludes.

Temple Climb: a new Tomb Raider–themed game mode

With a vertically scrolling map, the new Temple Climb game mode challenges players to ascend to new heights while battling for supremacy. The way up is treacherous, as pressure plates placed along the way will trigger traps that hurtle cannon balls, spring spikes, and ignite flames for Legends to dodge. The Temple Climb game mode will have a queue during the Tomb Raider Crossover Event and will still be playable in custom games after the event ends.

Brawlhalla's straightforward controls make the game easy for new players to pick up, while still having the depth to support a thriving competitive community. With more than 30 distinct warriors to choose from, each with two playstyle-altering weapon types, every victory is a spectacle worthy of the gods.

A variety of online and offline modes offer something for every Legend looking to prove their might in Asgard. Ranked queues, local 1v1 and 2v2, a four-player online free-for-all and online or local free-for-all allow up to eight warriors to take the field at once. Alternate game modes Brawlball, Snowbrawl, Bombsketball and more let the heroes sharpen their skills in new ways.

With a roster of more than 30 Legends, each with distinct two-weapon combinations and fighting styles, every aspiring warrior can find a hero that suits their playstyle.

Grab a horn of mead and prepare to face off against opponents from a different platform in the Grand Tournament of Valhalla.

Brawlhalla is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
