TOMB
RAIDER: QUEST FOR CINNABAR
In
the first episode Lara received a
commission to retrieve a famous Egyptian
work, The
Osiris Codex. On returning from
Egypt with the fabled manuscript,
Lara finds that her anonymous employer
wishes her to travel immediately to
Tibet. Her destination is a nameless
ancient monastery, which sits high
on an escarpment.
Lara
must secure a priceless ancient vase
containing Cinnabar, a substance used
in the creation of life affirming
tinctures. Lara
Croft is well aware that the supposedly
mythical city of Shangri-La is actually
rooted in Tibetan folklore, which
describes a remote valley inhabited
by immortals.Could this legend be
linked to her latest adventure?
John
Chasey, managing director of iomo
says: "Lara Croft is quite simply
the biggest star of the video games
world. We are delighted to extend
our relationship with Eidos and bring
Tomb Raider to mobile phones and a
potential audience of millions of
new gamers around the world."
Simon
Protheroe, Eidos' technical director
says: "We wanted to work with a developer
who we felt understood the franchise
and could translate Lara's world onto
mobile technology as sympathetically
as possible. Iomo have proven they
understand the technology and have
created a valuable new addition to
the Tomb Raider franchise."
