Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light released on iOS and Android

Feral Interactive has announced the release of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for iOS and Android, bringing Crystal Dynamics’ isometric tomb-raiding adventure to mobile complete with refinements for gaming on the go.

With the world under threat of eternal darkness, Lara Croft must carve a path through an army of the undead to defeat Xolotl, the Aztec god of death and misfortune. Using Lara’s signature dual pistols, players will run-and-gun through swarms of enemies while leaping, grappling and swinging their way past cunning puzzles and trap-laden challenges. Players may take on Xolotl and his fiendish machinations alone or team up with a friend in online co-op, with cross-platform play available between iOS and Android.

Featuring all fourteen levels of the original release plus three DLC packs at no extra cost, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for iOS and Android offers a wealth of replayability as players seek out hidden collectibles, beat score challenges for each level, and unlock extra weapons and stat-boosting artifacts. This mobile release also offers fully customisable controls for touchscreen twin-stick gameplay, as well as support for all popular gamepads.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is available now for iOS via the App Store, and for Android via the Google Play Store, priced at $9.99 / €8,99 / £7.49 (prices may vary locally).

Few video game franchises can claim the cultural impact of *Tomb Raider*. Since Lara Croft first leapt onto the scene in 1996, the series has spawned over 20 titles, sold more than 100 million copies, and captivated a global audience of over 160 million players (as of May 2022). Lara herself has transcended gaming to become a pop culture icon, even earning a spot on *TIME* Magazine’s list of the 15 Most Influential Video Game Characters of All Time.

The franchise’s legacy extends beyond games, inspiring blockbuster films based on both the original *Tomb Raider* and the 2013 reboot. Most recently, the critically acclaimed *Survivor Trilogy*—*Tomb Raider* (2013), *Rise of the Tomb Raider* (2015), and *Shadow of the Tomb Raider* (2018)—redefined Lara’s origins, earning over 200 industry awards and nominations. More than 25 years on, *Tomb Raider* remains one of gaming’s most enduring and influential sagas.
