'''Tomb Raider Underworld''' will most likely continue the story of [[Tomb Raider Legend]], as it was left open at the end. Lara's next adventure revolves around the ancient Mayan calendar and the five days that leave the portal to the Underworld open. This Underworld may be the same as Avalon.

==Release Dates & Platforms==
Tomb Raider Underworld will probably come out late 2008 and will be playable on [[PC]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[XBox 360]], Wii, Nintendo DS and PS2. Other versions are highly unlikely.

==Features and Controls==
Differences from previous iterations in the series are that Lara's world will be an "interactive world that reacts and remembers", such that footprints left in the mud or mud transferred to Lara's knee from kneeling on the ground will be washed away by rain, the bodies of the foes she encounters will remain where she killed them, and any destruction to the environment she causes will be permanent.[13] According to creative director Eric Lindstrom, this is "to not only reward the player for the effect they're having on the world, but to give them navigational aids."[15] The game utilises an animation blending system that allows Lara to interact dynamically with her environment, such as pushing foliage aside with one or two hands, depending on if she is carrying a weapon.[16] It also features a "hybrid lighting model that combines dynamic lights with carefully created light maps" and a weather system that changes the environment, for example, "If Lara’s negotiating a wet ledge she’s more apt to slip or lose grip," which makes "the environment ... her adversary" for a large part of the game.[13][17]

Previously seen separate aspects of gameplay have been combined together for a new experience. Lindstrom explained that "in the past, there was climbing, and there was shooting, and there was puzzle solving. And they often didn't overlap. We've now integrated all of those elements."[18] This installment also features a new melee combat system, requiring Lara in some instances to use "direct combat and evasive manoeuvres to distance herself from her attacker". Notably, Lara's bike, among other things, will be a key component in solving the puzzles she will encounter in her adventure.[13] Pick-ups will have multiple uses as weapons and tools in interaction with the environment, and Lindstrom stated that Lara "can also split up her guns and fire at two different targets simultaneously,"[15] or hold an item with one hand and fire a gun with the other.[18] The grappling hook can now be stretched taut and used to push objects off ledges unlike in previous iterations, illustrating what project lead Rob Pavey said, that "Lara will be able to do anything that you'd expect her to be able to do," which he called "the big theme this year."[7] Lindstrom describes this as "a philosophy called 'What Could Lara Do?'—WCLD. It's short-hand for having the player be able to use their own intuition about what someone with her abilities should be able to do in an environment such as this, and consistency across the different mechanics and abilities. If she can throw a grenade, then if she can pick up this pole, why can't she throw it?" Crystal Dynamics also aims to make the game non-linear, unlike Tomb Raider: Legend, and eliminate the need for hint icons that indicate the ability to interact with objects.[15]

Aside from these changes, Lara's costume was redesigned and she no longer wears her trademark blue sleeveless top and khaki shorts, but instead, a dark brown halter top and black shorts. Additionally, her hair is no longer braided, but worn in a ponytail. According to Play, Lara "moves as good as she looks [and] no longer moves like a video game character" thanks to being fully motion captured.[13]

These revelations and Play's assertions that this is the "first true next gen Lara" and "one big physics smorgasbord" which "looks altogether photo-real"[13] have led to speculation that Tomb Raider: Underworld might be using a new game engine for its next-generation graphics rather than the Tomb Raider: Legend system used by Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Deus Ex 3,[19] but Eidos has neither confirmed nor denied this.[5]

Keeley Hawes will provide the voice of Lara in this installment, as she did in Anniversary and Legend.[5] Olympic gymnast and NCAA Women's Gymnastics champion Heidi Moneymaker was the model used for motion capturing.

Here is a brief list of new and key elements in Tomb Raider: Underworld

[[Image:Bouldertrl.jpg|thumb|150px|right|A boulder, as seen in TRL]]
The '''Boulder''' was always a famous trap in the Tomb Raider Games. The boulder on the right is actually a [[Rolling Ball]], there are also other boulders that are not spherical.

Besides boulders there are [[barrels]], [[avalanches]], [[Falling Rocks|rocks]] and more that will make you jump out of the way.

Prior to [[Last Revelation]], the balls are not physics based, and will only roll in one direction at a constant speed, until they hit a ledge, wall, or a slope that faces the other way. However in the fourth game it is physics based and it bounces and rolls according to the terrain.

The boulder was not featured in [[Chronicles]] and [[The Angel of Darkness]].

Boulders always kill Lara instantly unless she is in a [[vehicle]]. She only bleeds extensively in the first three games when flattened by a boulder.

'''Tomb Raider Underworld''' will most likely continue the story of [[Tomb Raider Legend]], as it was left open at the end.

[[Crystal Dynamics]] are already working on the game.
There has been a rumor about the game being called Mists Of Avalon, but I don't know where that came from.

Tomb Raider Underworld will probably come out 2008 at the earliest and will be playable on [[PC]], [[PlayStation 3]] and [[XBox 360]]. There might also be non-next-generation versions for other systems like [[PlayStation 2]], [[XBox]], [[Gamecube]], but it seems highly unlikely, it is more likely they will bring out a special version like a [[Wii]] version or a mobile version for [[PSP]] or Nintendo DS.

==Details==
* According to Play magazine, Lara "has more than a dozen layers that determine her skin tone and texture, how light reflects or scatters, how shadows form, etc."
* Keeley Hawes once again voices Lara
* Lara will encounter dangerous cryptids (creatures that are presumed extinct, or have yet to be discovered) that require many shots before being defeated
* The game will be significantly longer than [[Tomb Raider Legend]]
* Lara has the ability of hand to hand combat
* It has been rumored that the [[medipacks]] will no longer exist and thus Lara must find another way of healing

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track.

The game is now available for [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]; with a [[PSP]], [[Wii]] and [[XBox 360]] version coming soon.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] ([[Lara's Home]])
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Lost Island]]

==In-game Elements==

===Gear===
The inventory will be like in the first Tomb Raider (rotating ring). Additionally Lara will have her [[grapple]], which will, according to rumour, not be magnetic this time.

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara wears her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. Throughout the basic game she will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]]. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the [[Sola Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

* [[Classic Outfit|Anniversary]]

* [[Atlas Riddle]]
* [[Haephestos Riddle]]

The world's love affair with Lara Croft began back in 1996 with the launch of the original Tomb Raider game. Since then, Tomb Raider has gone on to become one of the world's most successful videogame franchises of all time, and Lara's latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a celebration of Lara’s original adventure in an entirely new Crystal Dynamics game.

"Our goal was to capture the essence of what made the original Tomb Raider game such an incredible adventure, and use this to create a brand new Tomb Raider game. Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've created Anniversary, a completely fresh experience for Tomb Raider fans and a brand new game for those who are new to the series," said Sean Vesce, Studio Manager, Crystal Dynamics.

"The original Tomb Raider game made Lara Croft the icon she is today. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our way of paying tribute to Lara and the history of the franchise that will not only appeal to her fans, but also encourage a whole new generation of Lara lovers," said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Tomb Raider.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary will ship throughout Europe on June 1st on PlayStation 2 and PC Games For Windows.

''"Our '10th Anniversary Edition' of Tomb Raider, is a one-off title to celebrate both Lara and Tomb Raider, it will appeal not only to the loyal fans of the Tomb Raider series but will also attract a totally new audience." Said Larry Sparks, Head of Brands Management at Eidos.''

''Tomb Raider originally launched in 1996 and is still one of the best selling videogame franchises of all time, with over 30 million copies sold.''

''The special '10th Anniversary Edition' of Tomb Raider will be available on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC.''

====August 16th 2006====

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Tomb Raider Underworld will probably come out 2008 at the earliest and will be playable on [[PC]], [[PlayStation 3]] and [[XBox 360]]. There might also be non-next-generation versions for other systems like [[PlayStation 2]], [[XBox]], [[Gamecube]], but it seems unlikely.

Bosses

2007-10-19T01:10:05Z

Laracroftwest: /* Main Bosses */

'''Bosses''' appear throughout the Tomb Raider series. They are considered to be enemies with considerably more strength, agility, attacks and defence than the common enemies [[Lara]] faces throughout the games. In all Tomb Raiders, expect [[Chronicles]], there was a boss at the very end of the game, appearing on the last level. Some Sub-Bosses also appeared during the middle of some Tomb Raider games since [[Tomb Raider III]].

==Main Bosses==
* the [[Legless Mutant]] in [[Tomb Raider]]
* The [[Dragon]] in [[Tomb Raider II]]
* the [[Willard Mutant]] in [[Tomb Raider III]]
* [[Seth]] in [[The Last Revelation]] (immortal)
* [[Boaz]], [[Eckhardt]] and [[Karel]](immortal) in [[The Angel of Darkness]]
* [[Amanda Entity]] in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]
* [[Jacqueline Natla]] in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]

The images show the last bosses at the end of the respective Tomb Raider game. Tomb Raider [[Chronicles]] did not contain a final boss since the game told a collection of stories, however there are stronger enemies throughout the game that could be considered a boss, but not a final boss.

[[Image:greatpyramid_tr1.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tomb Raider Boss]][[Image:dragon.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tomb Raider II Boss]][[Image:willard.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tomb Raider III Boss]] 
[[Image:seth.jpg|thumb|113px|left|Tomb Raider IV Boss]][[Image:Eckhardt.jpg|thumb|113px|left|Tomb Raider VI Boss]]

 

==Sub Bosses==
* [[Jacqueline Natla]] in [[Tomb Raider]]
* [[Mafioso Boss]] in [[Tomb Raider II]]
* [[Guardian of the Talion]] or [[Guardian of the Kingdom]] in [[Tomb Raider II]] and [[The Golden Mask]]
* [[Tony]], [[Puna Boss]] and [[Sophia Leigh]] in [[Tomb Raider III]]
* [[Sphinx Bull]] (auch [[Guardian of Semerkhet]]) in [[Tomb Raider IV]]
* [[Demigod]] or [[Cleopatra's Guards]] in [[Tomb Raider IV]]
* [[Creature from the Ancient Past]] in [[Tomb Raider IV]] (invincible)
* [[Gladiator Statues]] in [[Chronicles]]
* [[Proto Nephilim]] in [[The Angel of Darkness]]
* [[Takamoto]] in [[Tomb Raider Legend]], [[Japan - Meeting with Takamoto]]
* [[Rutland]] in [[Tomb Raider Legend]], [[Ghana - Pursuing James Rutland]]
* [[Unknown Entity]] in [[Tomb Raider Legend]], [[Kazakhstan - Project Carbonek]]
* [[Seaserpent]] in [[Tomb Raider Legend]], [[England - King Arthur's Tomb?]]
* [[T-Rex]] in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]
* [[Centaur Bosses]] in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]
* [[Legless Mutant]] in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]

Against most of these opponents it is recommended to use [[Uzis]], the [[Grenade Launcher]], the [[Revolver]] or the [[Desert Eagle]].

The game is now available for [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]; with a [[PSP]], [[Wii]] and [[XBox 360]] version coming soon.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's Home)
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Lost Island]]

==In-game Elements==

* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara wears her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. Throughout the basic game she will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]]. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the [[Sola Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]]. It is still un-stated if Human [[Natla]], or even [[Pierre Dupont]] & [[Larson Conway]] will be exclusive outfits for Lara on PSP.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's Home)
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara wears her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. Throughout the basic game she will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]]. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the [[Sola Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]]. It is still un-stated if Human [[Natla]], or even [[Pierre Dupont]] & [[Larson Conway]] will be exclusive outfits for Lara on PSP.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included (unconfirmed)

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.
