Tomb Raider: Lara Croft Gets Skinned for Pre-Order Incentive

Tomb Raider is getting skinned—well, not skinned alive, but retextured—as a preorder incentive on Amazon.com. I have no idea where I was going with that, but you might want to put down your knife and fork.

If you pre-purchase the game on Amazon for the PC, Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, you’ll be eligible to receive an exclusive art book for the game, an in-game skin for Lara Croft, and a digital copy of The Final Hours of Tomb Raider, an ebook for the Kindle by Geoff Keighley.

Both the book and in-game skin will be available as a part of the game’s product packaging while the ebook is set to arrive in a separate e-mail from Amazon as a download code. The offer extends to anyone who’s already preordered the game.

Pre-order deals for other retailers, including Steam and GameStop are expected to be revealed sometime in the future.

Tomb Raider is set for a 2013 release on the aforementioned platforms.
