UNDERWORLD TRAILER
EXCLUSIVE DEBUT
Copyright 2008 Eidos plc Press Release
[ July 18th 2008 ]
Eidos
Interactive, creator of some of the world's
leading videogame properties, can today reveal
it will be exclusively showcasing the very first
trailer for its hugely anticipated game, Tomb
Raider Underworld, on the BBC’s Something
for the Weekend.
Tomb
Raider Underworld will be the first computer game
trailer to be launched exclusively in the gadget
section on the programme, scheduled for Sunday
20th July at a time between 9:30am and 11:00am.
The Sun online will exclusively feature the trailer
on Saturday from 6pm.
Tomb
Raider Underworld sees Lara undertake her riskiest
mission yet, descending to the depths of the underworlds.
For generations, stories have been told of the
fearsome weapon of the Norse god, Thor. Legend
has it that he who wields the hammer has the power
to smash mountains into valleys and the strength
to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand
years it has existed only as a myth... until now.
In an
ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean
Sea, Lara Croft
uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the
mythical hammer. As Lara attempts to unravel the
secrets behind these myths, her perilous journey
leads to a forgotten power that, if unleashed,
could lay waste to all civilization.
Designed
specifically to take advantage of the latest technologies
Tomb Raider Underworld represents a new advancement
in exploration-based gameplay. As a fearless adventurer,
Lara Croft explores exotic locations around the
world, each designed with an incredible attention
to detail, resulting in breathtaking high-definition
visual fidelity that creates a truly believable
world and delivers a new level of challenge and
choice.
"Eidos
is really excited to exclusively launch the debut
trailer for Tomb Raider Underworld on Something
for the Weekend this Sunday. Lara Croft is a legendary
figure and it makes perfect sense to introduce
her new trailer on such a popular show as BBC
Two's Something for the Weekend" remarks
Jon Brooke of Eidos.
