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 it was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by Crystal Dynamics. It's supposed to come out on PC, PlayStation 2 and PSP.


The game will be released in 2007.

We've also made plans for an anniversary edition which will be coming out next year, Ian Livingstone said in an interview with Eurogamer in 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...
