A pair of themed character packs are coming to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Square Enix has confirmed, and fans get to decide which gets released first.

The characters to choose from come in pairs and include IO's Kane & Lynch and Crystal Dynamic's Kain and Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series.

Head over to the Crystal Dynamics Twitter and tweet which pairing you want to see first.

A leaked video has also confirmed the titles of the second and third downloadable expansions. Following All The Trappings will be Things That Go Boom and Hazardous Reunion.

The footage above sadly reveals that while the character models are changed, the voice work is not, in this case resulting in Lara's well-spoken English coming from Raziel.

We'd love to believe the inclusion of Kain and Raziel indicates a return to the series for Crystal Dynamics, but a welcome bit of fan service seems more likely.

I can't believe they keep trying to promote the dirge that is 'Kane & Lynch' - they're crap, hardly anyone is interested, move on!

I agree 100% with the Kain & Raziel comment - I would love to see a new LoK game!

Jake and Elwood Blues :D. Now I would download them. Peter Gunn theme in the background would be very good.

I voted for Kain and Raziel, but suggested Jake and Elwood Blues to them as well.

This isn't giving the game any favours if you adding these into this game at all. For fan appeal. They could of offered older Lara Croft skin's or something like that.

Saying that though. Its about time Kain and Raziel have a game of there own again!
