According
to a blog on TradeMork.com,
Eidos has filed
a trademark protection request for Tomb Raider
Underworld, a name that could be revealed as the
next video-game in the phenomenally successful
Lara Croft
series. Currently under the working title of Tomb
Raider 8, the game is once again under the aegis
of Crystal Dynamics.
According
to TradeMork.com,
Tomb Raider Underworld is "rumoured to be
based around the Mayan Calendar. During five nameless
and dangerous days at the end of the calendar
called Wayeb', portals between the mortal realm
and the Underworld dissolve, allowing ill-intending
deities to causing disaster and mayhem."
Tomb
Raider 8 has been tentatively pencilled in for
a 2008 release and is expected to court Xbox 360,
Sony PS3 and Windows PC. Hop on over to Tomb
Raider Forums to give us your opinion on the
title.
