The much-hyped return of the publisher’s buxom mascot is already being billed as a return to form for the series, with Crystal Dynamics having taken over the development duties for the new title.

“Xbox 360 allows us to bring Lara to life like never before,” said Eidos senior brand manager Matt Gorman. “It enables us to make the Tomb Raider experience far more realistic and immersive in a next generation, high definition world.”

Legend is the seventh title in the multi million selling series and is considered to be a vital release for both the franchise and publisher Eidos.
