TOMB RAIDER 7
TO BE UNVEILED FEB?

[ January 17th 2005 ]
The wait
is almost over! According to a post on www.tombraiderforums.com,
PS2M will sensationally unveil the forthcoming
Tomb Raider adventure from newly appointed franchise
caretaker Crystal Dynamics next month. "STOP PRESS:
TOMB RAIDER RETURNS" is advertised as billing
the February issue of PS2M. This revelation would
support whisperings that Eidos are to unveil the
new Tomb Raider on or around February 14th, Lara's
virtual birthday.
This
time around - and rather surprisingly - Eidos
has maintained an effective shut-down on all information
leaks surrounding their leading franchise title,
although sparse details were revealed middle of
last year in an interview with PS2 Magazine. Back
then, an early build of Tomb Raider 7 had been
mobilised with core elements funded by the Soul
Reaver graphics engine. That engine, said Eidos,
had been tinkered with to include the introduction
of vehicles that would assist problem solving
elements in the game.
Eidos
also revealed that Crystal Dynamics intended to
restore the original properties of Lara Croft
- ardent Tomb Raider, procurer of all things ancient
- and a game reminiscent of the original title
from Core Design. A feel akin to Prince Of Persia's
agility and level design was also mooted.

adventure with a bevy of new media showcasing
Tomb Raider 7 coming soon.
