Tomb Raider Anniversary Dated

According to a recent announcement by Eidos, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be released on June 5 for the PS2 and PC. A remake of the first Tomb Raider game, Anniversary is built on top of an advanced version of the engine used for Legend, with the gameplay mechanics, artificial intelligence and level puzzles more refined, in-depth and made complex now. However, it will “faithfully preserve the elements which made the original such a success,” read the announcement.

“The original Tomb Raider made Lara Croft into the digital icon that she is today,” said Director of Marketing, Matt Gorman, Eidos, Inc. “Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our way of paying tribute to Lara Croft and the history of the franchise by exploring the roots of what made the Tomb Raider game successful.”

Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the rejuvenation of the Tomb Raider franchise, Anniversary will also be released on the PSP soon.
