Eidos Interactive, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend will be released on Xbox 360TM on April 7th 2006, in line with the release of PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC versions.
Delivering unbelievable visuals that take full advantage of Microsoft’s next-generation video game and entertainment system, Lara’s premiere on Xbox 360 is grounded in the series’ tomb raiding roots. Created by Crystal Dynamics, Lara exploits the power of Xbox 360 with its newly created graphics system for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend.
With support for real-time per-pixel lighting, shadows and normal-mapping among other improvements, the Tomb Raider world achieves new heights of atmosphere, tension and beauty. New levels of detail and texture yield realistic effects on Lara herself as she gets dirty and wet during her expeditions through the rugged terrain of the environments she explores.
“Xbox 360 allows us to bring Lara to life like never before with intricately animated expressions, fluid movement and realistic abilities,” said Matt Gorman, Senior Brand Manager for Tomb Raider, “It enables us to make the Tomb Raider experience far more realistic and immersive in a next-generation, high-definition world; dynamic, lush, living realms that are wholly Tomb Raider, and that belong completely to Lara Croft, the likes of which have never been seen on any console.”
