today’s technology, we’ve taken all of the key moments from the

original videogame making Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
a brand new experience in gaming, while still invoking the nostalgia
of the first adventure in Tomb Raiding.

captured the essence of what made the original game so special and
with today’s technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries
of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a
special celebration of Lara’s reign as videogaming’s leading lady,”

Tomb Raider:
Anniversary is a celebration of Lara Croft and the people who helped
make her what she is today – her fans. In North America it is a time
of
thanksgiving,
and while the Holiday may not be universal, a message of thanks can
still be sent to all.
But as most know, actions speak louder than words, so to show our
thanks, we have selected six fan site webmasters to be inducted into
the
credits
of the game. These members have been chosen based on the quality of
their work, time spent in service of the franchise, as well as their
dedication and loyalty to the Tomb Raider brand.
The inductees are as follows:
Chris Ridgeon
–
www.planetlara.com
Stellalune – www.tombraiders.net
Tom Waskuc – www.laracroftonline.com
Daniel Bevers – www.tombnews.com
Shahriyar Imanov– www.tombraidercommunity.com
Justin J. Farr – www.tombraiderchronicles.com
To say that these members have been “dedicated” would be a large
understatement - these people have poured their heart and soul into
this franchise, and have done so for a very long time. They have
helped spread the word about Tomb Raider, and together, have reached
millions of people.
Eidos appreciates the
hard
work
and dedication shown by all of the members of the fan community,
including those who are no longer in active roles. These initiatives
are not with the intention of minimizing the outstanding work that
has been done by people not included on the above list, as we
understand it is the combined efforts of all that continue to make
the Tomb Raider franchise what it is today. To everyone, we give our
thanks.
Also, since we understand that there are other ways to contribute to
the Tomb Raider community than running a website, there might be
some opportunities for a few fans to get their names into the
credits as well… but more information about that will come in the
future.
Stay tuned for more details, and enjoy the new piece of concept art.

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 has drawn
its inspiration from the original adventure that started it all. 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.
Over the years, the fans of the Tomb Raider
franchise
have been constantly asking for a new version of the original Tomb
Raider. We have answered the call with Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
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…
