OFFICIAL NEWS: A new crossover event was announced on Monday 29th April. From May 13th until May 26th, players of the MMORPG Hero Wars: Alliance (on iOS and Android) and Hero Wars: Dominion Era (for browsers) will be able to add Lara Croft to their party for free.
Here is some information from the official Tomb Raider website: "During her two week tour of the mystical world of Dominion, Lara will join the hunt for mystical treasures, and battle a host of villains, including the forces of the evil Archdemon. For the duration of the event, players will also have the option to summon Lara directly into battle, bolstering their forces. As a regular party member, Lara is a balanced and reliable long-range fighter, peppering foes with her signature dual pistols, and channelling the power of her personal collection of ancient artifacts to change the tide of battle. Outside of a fight, her treasure-hunting experience comes into play, taking players on a special expedition to obtain rare and valuable resources. "Despite Hero Wars being active since 2016, this is the first collaboration event in the game’s long history," Nexters said. "We are thrilled to be working alongside Crystal Dynamics and to have such a truly iconic character join the Hero Wars roster. We hope this will be as much of an adventure for Lara as it is for us!" The event begins at 10 a.m. EST on May 13th, 2024, and runs until 8 p.m. EST on May 26. After this date, Lara will be hopping on the first plane (or interdimensional portal) back to Croft Manor. Make sure you add her to your collection of heroes before the event ends!" [Source]
