Copyright 2006 Eidos plc Press Release
[ November 28th 2006 ]
Eidos
Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software, is ushering
in a new era of games for mobile phones with confirmation
that Lara Croft Tomb
Raider Legend will be released on all compatible
handsets in December 2006. In the UK the game
will be available exclusively through Orange until
the beginning of 2007.
Breaking
the mould for games on mobile handsets Tomb Raider
Legend for mobile puts Lara
Croft in your pocket in this conversion of
the hit 2006 console title. Emulating the gameplay
and cinematic action of the successful console
version of Tomb Raider Legend, the mobile game
lets Lara jump, sidestep, roll, shoot, climb,
and use the grappling hook to navigate the 3D
environment.
Based
on a revolutionary game engine, Tomb Raider Legend
for mobile takes advantage of the increased processing
power and graphics capability of the latest mobile
phones, giving users an unprecedented gaming experience.
Simon
Protheroe, New Media and IT Director at Eidos,
commented, "The mobile phone is the biggest selling
games platform in the UK, with people regularly
enjoying action and strategy games for entertainment.
Now that handsets offer such improved performance,
we are able to provide a more immersive gaming
experience for the mobile generation."
The 3D
mobile version adds to the success that the brand
has already had on mobile and mirrors the success
of a brand which has enthralled gamers for ten
years and is still one of the best selling videogame
franchises of all time, with over 30 million copies
sold.
