World’s first: Tomb Raider: Anniversary will come in episodes
Tomb Raider: Anniversary for PC and PS2 already dominated UK and German charts (PC version took France too), but our iconic video game babe doesn’t stop there. Lara Croft will continue her adventures on the Xbox 360 as Eidos Interactive announced that Tomb Raider Legend owners will be able to download Anniversary in parts.
For the first time ever, a full retail game will be available from Xbox Live Marketplace. The original Tomb Raider was among the first to utilize full 3D technology during the time when transition was still happening. Lara is jumping forward guns ablazing once again, by being the world’s first.
Said Jane Cavanagh, Chief Executive, Eidos:
Lara has always been at the forefront of technology and this world first initiative with Microsoft really highlights that fact. Ultimately we also intend to make the title available at retail so that it reaches the maximum possible audience.
First couple of episodes will be up for purchase come September, while the other two will come shortly after. Full game will reach retailers later this year. All four will cost a total of 2,400 Microsoft Points. Croft Manor level will be free, but other cool stuff like picture packs and theme packs will come later for a cost.
