Tomb Raider 7 - Summer 2005 News

Top Cow Productions in conjunction with Eidos today confirmed plans to â??wind downâ? the Tomb Raider comic-book series, whilst at the same time letting slip details of the release of Tomb Raider 7.

The original Press Release states that the two companies will be working together to re-launch the series alongside the release of Tomb Raider 7 in the â??summer of 2005â?, whilst suggesting that the comic-book creators are actively assisting in the development of the new title and makes some mention of a â??redesignedâ? main character â?“ prompting suggestions that Lara Croft has in fact undergone radical breast implant and botox operations to ensure sheâ??s still the most popular videogame heroine within male gaming circles.

â??Once we spoke with Eidos and realized they were changing Lara Croft up quite a bit it seemed a prudent course to wrap up what weâ??re doing now and prepare for the newer version sometime late next year,â? says Top Cow President Matt Hawkins.

Whilst specific details on the title are being kept a closely guarded secret, we do know that the title is currently under development at Crystal Dynamics with the possible assistance of Warren Spector, having previously struck the franchise from Core Design after the poor release of Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness.

Weâ??ll have more information soon.
