EIDOS ANNOUNCES
MOBILE ANNIVERSARY
Copyright 2007 Eidos plc Press Release
[ October 25th 2007 ]
Eidos
Interactive Ltd., one of the world’s leading
publishers and developers of entertainment software,
today confirms that Lara
Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is set for
release on mobile phones from December 2007.
To celebrate
the 10 year anniversary of the Tomb Raider franchise,
Lara Croft
will star in a new adventure taking in familiar
locations from her past. Inspired by the first
three Tomb Raider mobile phone games, LARA CROFT
TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY faithfully preserves
the elements which made the original mobile games
some of the best available on the mobile platform.
“We wanted
to take the very best bits of the original trilogy
and deliver a new and improved version, whilst
still retaining that familiar blend of puzzles,
exploration and action that the series is famous
for,” Simon Protheroe, New Media and IT Director
at Eidos commented. “With completely revamped
graphics, the Peruvian sections of the mobile
game are now more akin to the latest console version
of Anniversary, so mobile gamers are in for a
treat.”
The game
is being developed by FinBlade, a new British
Development Studio. “I can think of no better
game to be working on as the debut title for our
new studio” said John Chasey, President of FinBlade,
“I’m looking forward to Tomb Raider: Anniversary
being a huge hit just like the original titles
were.”
The game
boasts fifteen levels of action; featuring spike
traps, walls of flame, devious puzzles and deadly
foes – plus there will be four game modes available
on selected handsets.
