[ March 17th 2006 ]

Piggyback, the foremost publisher of official game guides, today announces it will publish the definitive companion to Eidos Interactive's hotly-anticipated Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend, for PlayStation 2, Xbox , Xbox 360 , PC and PSP.

The guide will be rolled out simultaneously with the game across PAL, US and Asian territories. The book will appear in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian languages in Europe at an RRP of Euro 14.99 / £10.99 with the US guide shipping at $16.99.

Benefiting from a vast offering of official and exclusive artwork, the guide was developed at Piggyback in conjunction with Crystal Dynamics, the US developer and part of the Eidos group, over a six month period.

With direct input from the development team, the book outlines the precise location of all rewards, a complete overview of all unlockables and the most extensive Behind The Scenes section ever written for a game's guide. The guide will offer over 200 pages with more than 25% dedicated to 'Extras' alone.

Louie Beatty, Managing Director of Piggyback, commented: "Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series are household names and Crystal Dynamics has done an incredible job in creating Tomb Raider: Legend. Putting together the official guide worthy of the first lady of adventure's best game to date has been a challenge worthy of Lara herself, but the results have been worth it".

"Anticipation for the Tomb Raider Legend game has been amazing," said Janet Swallow, Licensing Director at Eidos Interactive. "Piggyback has a reputation for producing outstanding guides. For the official guide for Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend, fans will be expecting the best and Piggyback hasn't disappointed".
