TOMB RAIDER LEGEND RELEASE DATES

Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, can confirm today that Lara Croft's latest and most anticipated adventure, Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend will begin shipping on April 7th in Europe and April 11th in North America on PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Xbox 360 with PSP versions to follow shortly after.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend is the seventh title to be released in the Tomb Raider series, which originally launched in 1996, and is still one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, with over 30 million copies sold. Lara Croft has transcended games in a way no other character has, including action figures, comic books and two major motion pictures starring Angelina Jolie.

Larry Sparks, Head of Brands Management, Eidos, said: "Everyone working on Legend is buzzing right now, we are all so excited that this totally new incarnation of Lara will capture gamers' hearts, just as her original game did, and challenge their minds like no Tomb Raider they've ever seen."
