We thank Sleeper for the tip. “Hi I just noticed the new Free Running PSP website! It’s got a complete overhaul! And the FAQ has some new entries,” he said, “The last question now says its going to be released at the start of 2007. It’s now been made by Rebellion and not Core Design.” Good news tip, because we’ve known about this game since last year. What’s been happening?

Game history. Long, long ago in the UK, Core Design, the video game developer studio based in Derby, developed the Tomb Raider series. Then the staff and assets of Core was sold by Eidos to Rebellion Developments, an indie development group. This was announced May 11, 2006, so this explains why the game design is now credited to Rebellion and not to Core Design, but the website still says that the game comes from the same “internal team” of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

So there you have it. Expect this “free running” game in 2007. And for you newbies: free running (aka “cooking”) is a sport (and an art) developed by Sebastien Foucan where the free runners deal with obstacles in their paths acrobatically and aesthetically. It was inspired by parkour and incorporates “tricking.” See this YouTube vid below if you want to see how it’s done…
