Online
magazine FGN has confirmed that Core Design will
introduce a new trend to it's successfull Tomb
Raider series, claiming that after the initial
game is purchased, consumers will then be able
to buy additional episodic add-on titles increasing
the length of the game indefinitely, and introducing
new adventures, locations and characters, as well
as the ability to "top up" new features online.
No financial details have yet been released as
to how much the additional segments will cost,
but FGN reports that future sequels will be developed,
building the franchise into a huge epic story.
According
to Core: "We have spent eight months designing
and writing the Lara Croft book, which features
several different characters, levels, stories
and adventures. Players will buy the full original
game from the shops and then we will offer new
episodic instalments over the Internet via PlayStation
2. "The game will pan out much like a soap opera,
with new characters, levels and situations being
introduced at regular intervals.
Tomb
Raider Next Gen will be an epic game." Tomb Raider
Next Generation isn't likely to hit the shelves
much before the second half of 2001, but fans
rest assurred that Chronicles, the final instalment
of Lara Croft as we know her, should be on sale
before Christmas.
