Duke Nukem and Tomb Raider&#8217;s Lara Croft will be getting their own personalized tanks as they headline two separate Heroes&#8217; Paths chapters from July 10 to July 21. According the launch trailer below, Lara&#8217;s chapter will have 30 stages while Duke&#8217;s will have 40.<\/p>\n<div data-embed-type=\"video\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I2wmRci2g_A\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"100%\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/I2wmRci2g_A\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Keeley Hawes is reprising her role as Lara Croft from a handful of Tomb Raider games that were released before the 2013 reboot, as well as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Although Lara isn&#8217;t known for using a tank, her vehicle of choice in this game is a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank that comes with a lot of Lara&#8217;s archeology tools including her hatchet, ropes, cables, a winch, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Jon St. John&#8211;the original and only voice of Duke Nukem&#8211;is also stepping back into his iconic role for this guest appearance. Unlike Lara, Duke riding in a tank feels very much in character. His ride is a nuclear-powered TS-6, a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank. Understandably, it comes with a lot of Duke&#8217;s heavy ordinance including laser machine guns, grenade launchers, and other &#8220;enhanced weapons systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Duke and Lara&#8217;s stages will include several nods to their respective histories with returning characters, cosmetics, and collectibles. A new Lara Croft theme was created for this event, while Duke Nukem&#8217;s Grabbag theme will be used in his portion of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this summer, Lesta Games&#8211;the Russian studio behind Mir Tankov, an offshoot of World of Tanks&#8211;was <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6532140\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">accused by Russia of illegally funneling money from its title to Ukraine<\/a>. Wargaming&#8211;the studio behind World of Tanks&#8211;<a data-ref-id=\"1100-6518517\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">hasn&#8217;t hidden its support for Ukraine<\/a> in the war against Russia. However, Wargaming and Lesta Games are no longer tied together, despite the allegations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"js-mapped-ad mapped-ad mapped-mpu_middle mapped-mpu_middle-dart js-seamless-middle-mpu float-right no-inner-space\" data-ad-type=\"mpu_middle\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrap ad-wrap-mpu_middle gpt-ad hidead\" id=\"mpu_middle\" data-gpt-page-params=\"{&quot;aeVer&quot;:&quot;v151.11.0&quot;,&quot;ppid&quot;:&quot;5c450738-3995-4685-8508-86bb38c9926a&quot;,&quot;pvuid&quot;:&quot;3c2c3af1-8b02-4205-a715-52103c61e3a2&quot;,&quot;browser&quot;:&quot;Chrome&quot;,&quot;adGroup&quot;:[&quot;100&quot;,&quot;95&quot;,&quot;90&quot;,&quot;85&quot;,&quot;80&quot;,&quot;75&quot;,&quot;70&quot;,&quot;65&quot;,&quot;60&quot;,&quot;55&quot;,&quot;50&quot;,&quot;45&quot;,&quot;40&quot;,&quot;35&quot;,&quot;30&quot;,&quot;25&quot;],&quot;brand&quot;:&quot;gamespot&quot;,&quot;cmp&quot;:&quot;1t&quot;,&quot;pageType&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;pname&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;ptype&quot;:&quot;news_article&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;gs-1100-6533014&quot;,&quot;pid&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;section&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;game&quot;:&quot;world-of-tanks&quot;,&quot;gnre&quot;:[&quot;action&quot;,&quot;free-to-play&quot;,&quot;shooter&quot;,&quot;tactical&quot;,&quot;third-person&quot;],&quot;rdate&quot;:&quot;bp52&quot;,&quot;pform&quot;:[&quot;pc&quot;,&quot;xbox-360&quot;,&quot;xbox-one&quot;,&quot;playstation-4&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;,&quot;nintendo-switch&quot;,&quot;playstation-5&quot;,&quot;xbox-series-x&quot;],&quot;publisher&quot;:[&quot;wargaming-net&quot;,&quot;igs-software-publishing&quot;,&quot;deep-silver&quot;,&quot;maximum-games&quot;,&quot;wargaming-group&quot;,&quot;microsoft-game-studios&quot;],&quot;franchise_nr&quot;:&quot;world-of-tanks&quot;,&quot;category&quot;:&quot;games&quot;,&quot;franchise&quot;:&quot;world-of-tanks&quot;,&quot;user&quot;:&quot;anon&quot;,&quot;verticalName&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;vguid&quot;:&quot;683d1213-014d-41da-8af3-63029bb2df0c&quot;,&quot;is_mobile&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;uap&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;uap_c&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;s2&quot;:&quot;article&quot;,&quot;npa&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;rdp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;s0&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;s1&quot;:&quot;gamespot&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;gamespot_desktop&quot;,&quot;seg&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;aamid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;li-module-enabled&quot;:[&quot;t0&quot;],&quot;AU_SEG&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;ids&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;bsc&quot;:[&quot;74352655&quot;,&quot;74352641&quot;,&quot;74352651&quot;,&quot;74042108&quot;,&quot;84091001&quot;,&quot;74081158&quot;,&quot;87012038&quot;,&quot;74041059&quot;,&quot;74041060&quot;,&quot;74331564&quot;,&quot;74331567&quot;,&quot;74141219&quot;,&quot;84092032&quot;,&quot;74041097&quot;,&quot;74351640&quot;,&quot;74351635&quot;],&quot;abs&quot;:&quot;51008342,51007374,51006966,51004663,51006822,51007054,51002162,51004584,51002710,51002607,51007151,51001736,51005902,51008056,51004256,51008303,51005704&quot;,&quot;boi&quot;:&quot;AAAAPAxxxxxxxxxx&quot;}\" data-gpt-slot-params=\"{&quot;pos_nr&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:[&quot;gamespot&quot;],&quot;pos&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle&quot;,&quot;rv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;sl&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle?T-1000&quot;,&quot;iid&quot;:&quot;unit=mpu_middle|vguid=683d1213-014d-41da-8af3-63029bb2df0c|&quot;,&quot;pageType&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;}\" data-slot-result=\"collapse\" data-google-query-id=\"CJiOjsSuwI4DFZk4ewcdbHQtzw\" data-gpt-advertiser-id=\"null\" data-gpt-order-id=\"null\" data-gpt-creative-id=\"null\" data-gpt-line-item-id=\"null\" data-gpt-creative-size=\"null\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none;
