The second half of May has brought anInternational Museum Day stamp rallytoAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, letting players explore Blathers' museum on their islands for the chance to win plaques they can display over their own collections. For those who want to pad out their museums by raiding treasures from ancient tombs, theTomb Raiderdevelopers have released custom designs to dress up like the iconic Lara Croft.
In a Tumblr post titled “Tomb Raider<3’sAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,” the series developers uploaded three custom designs based on Lara Croft’s outfits across various appearances: Her classic 1996 look, her black outfit from 2003’sTomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, and her more gritty beat-up clothing from the2013Tomb Raiderreboot. By using the creator code MA-5858-0335-8877 in the Able Sisters' shop kiosk, players can download outfits “for all 8 in-game skin tones available where applicable.”

The developers say that one thing they “adore” about theTomb Raidercommunity is how the series becomes a “way of life” for fans. They encourage this lifestyle by also providing a “shopping guide” in the Tumblr post so players know which other pieces to buy if they want the official Lara Croft looks inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, including for “Lara Croft-inspired” outfits.
At the end of the post it is said that there have been QR codes developed to useTomb Raidercustom framed art and a Lara Croft island flag, however those codes have not yet been released as of this writing.
