Tomb Raider: Anniversary confirmed for a May release by Eidos

If major UK retailers are to be believed, Lady Lara Croft will come in all her glory to the PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation 2 (PS2), and PC platforms this May 25. It’s just funny to think how Tomb Raider: Anniversary slipped to the 11th year when it was originally scheduled on the 10th.

We also checked the title’s official site and it mentioned that Tomb Raider: Anniversary will indeed come out this May.

Anyway, Eidos Interactive wouldn’t commit on a concrete release date when gaming site Eurogamer asked the publisher earlier today. However, Eidos did mention that the game will be out next month.

It should be remembered that developer Crystal Dynamics confirmed the rumors back in January about an April release. Also, fans are eager to see whether the PS2 version of the title will be compatible with Sony‘s newest console PlayStation 3 (PS3).

But for what it’s worth, Eidos and Crystal Dynamics have promised that Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be teeming with “caves full of new thrills“, all wrapped up in the engine used for last year’s Tomb Raider Legend.

The title is actually a remake of the video game that first appeared 10 years ago. In that version of the game, Lady Croft was hired by a syndicate to retrieve a mythical object known as the Scion. However, Croft learned that she is just being used as a pawn for a bigger scheme.
