The Angel of Darkness story arc will not be continued. And Kurtis Trent will not(!) be in it.

We were promised to learn something about the plane crash in the Himalayas, which changed Lara's life forever.

Lara Croft's search for a South American relic changes course dramatically when she meets a dangerous figure from her past, and she finds herself in a race to recover one of history's most famous artefacts, the sword Excalibur.

Features

Plattforms

The game will be released for PC, PS2 and X-Box. An graphically enhanced version for the XBox 360 is scheduled for a little later. Handheld gamers will be happy to learn that there will also be a Version for Sonys PSP (PlayStationPortable). It has been confirmed in E3 2006 that there will be a Nintendo Gamecube, DS and GBA Version. (The last is highly unlikely to be anything like the other Legend Versions.)

Gear

Lara has her twin-pistols again. She can also carry grenades and other weapons. She will be able to pick them up from her enemies. She can only carry a limited amount and will have to choose which one to take along. She will wear a headset, torches, binoculars and a rope.

Characters

Enemies

As oppose to older games in the series, in Legend most enemies Lara encounters will be human enemies in the form of mercenary. The difference between those enemies are the amount of protection they have and the type of weapons they are carrying.

Legend also included few animals in the game as well.
