'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track.

The game is now available for [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]; with a [[PSP]], [[Wii]] and [[XBox 360]] version coming soon.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] ([[Lara's Home]])
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara wears her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. Throughout the basic game she will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]]. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the [[Sola Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Tutuy:

[[Image:Seth.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Seth]]'''Seth''' (also '''Set''') is the Egyptian god of chaos and confusion.

He is often depicted as a man with the head of a mysterious animal; sometimes interpreted as anteater.

Seth is the son of Nut and the brother of [[Osiris]], [[Isis]] and Nephthys.

It is said that Seth murdered his brother Osiris, causing a long, violent fight with his nephew [[Horus]] over who should be the earthly ruler.

Finally other gods were called to judge and they decided that Horus should rule over the living.

Lara freed Seth, when she visits [[Tomb of Seth|his tomb]] in [[The Last Revelation]].

He is also the [[boss]] and Lara has to fight him in the level [[Temple of Horus]].

He mysteriously appeared in the temple, probably travelling in non-corporeal, accompanied by a swarm of locusts - as said in the prophecy - before assuming his God form as shown in the image. He is invincible, and Lara escaped the temple by dodging his attacks which consisted of energy missiles and beams. Once Lara climbed out of the temple, she used the [[Amulet of Horus]] to close a trap door and seal Seth within the temple for all time.

Seth destroyed the [[Armour of Horus]], to stop [[Horus]] from being summoned by Lara who assembled the armour. The armour was destroyed but the Amulet of Horus was knocked into the surrounding water and retrieved by Lara.

Seth can be playable in the Tomb Raider Level Editor.

==Information==
===Synopsis===
Lara Croft returns in Tomb Raider II to discover the secret of the [[Dagger of Xian]]. The ancient [[Chinese]] believed that whoever recovered this mythical dagger would gain power beyond belief... provided they had the courage to plunge the dagger deep into their heart.

Lara's travels start at [[The Great Wall]] of China but it's not long before she's globe-trotting in hot pursuit of clues that will lead her to the ultimate goal. However she's not alone in her new adventure: this time there are other who have a seemingly fanatical interest in the dagger.

Featuring an enhanced Lara Croft, complete with costume changes, Tomb Raider II combines the classic gameplay of the original with an array of enhanced exterior settings, new moves, new weapons and a plot that'll have Lara twisting and turning around every corner.
<ref>Tomb Raider II, backcover, UK PlayStation Version</ref>

===Summary===
The unstoppable Lara Croft is back in TRII, complete with the classic gameplay that made Tomb Raider the game of the year!
Join Lara in her quest for the Dagger of Xian, reputed to possess the power of the dragon. But beware, Lara is not the only one in search of danger! Warrior Monks and crazed cult members plot against you as you travel from the remote mountain peaks of Tibet, the canals of Venice and even to the bottom of the sea.

===Features===
* Dynamic lighting allows for new environments and tools such as flares.
* New worlds include Tibet, China, Venice, and a sunken ocean liner.
* New moves allow Lara to swim, backflip, somersault, climb, wade, and even swing from chandeliers.
* New clothing, including a wet suit and bomber jacket.
* New weaponry including automatic pistols, harpoon gun, grenade launcher, M16 rifle, uzis, shotguns, flares and more!
* All-new enemies, including more human foes, Warrior Monks, Yetis, great white sharks, killer eels, rabid dobermans and more!
* Refined game engine.
*Smoother control system.

== Gameplay ==
While building up upon the gameplay of [[Tomb Raider]], Lara's weapon arsenal has expanded. A full list is below. She can do all of the same moves from Tomb Raider as well as some new ones. These include climbing, performing a 180 degree manoeuvre in the water and in mid-air while jumping. Flares have also been added to Lara's inventory. She may run with one lit, or she can throw them. Also Lara may operate vehicles in the game which include a motorboat in Venice and a snowmobile in Tibet.

Lara herself has been constructed with more polygons. Her breasts and face look much rounder than they did in Tomb Raider. Her hair actually dangles in a ponytail, rather than being tied up in a bun previously. Her ponytail sways around outside due to wind but is stationary inside, providing Lara herself is stationary.

Instead of the usual medipacks and ammunition that posed as secrets in Tomb Raider, in Tomb Raider II there are 3 secrets per level which are 3 ornamental dragons. On each level the player has an opportunity to find the stone, jade and gold dragons. Some dragons might have ammunition, weapons and medipacks that accompany them when found. Lara also has two new outfits. She wears a wetsuit for the Rig and Maria Doria levels, and she wears an airjacket during the levels in Tibet.

[[Croft Mansion]] has also expanded. The player may now go outside and explore the attic, kitchen and basement. An assault course and hedge maze await the player outside. The mansion serves as the game's training level where the player may practice manoeuvres on the assault course, which can also be completed whilst being timed.

==Story==

=== Introduction ===
Legend has it that when you drive the [[Dagger of Xian]] into your heart, you acquire the power of the dragon. Literally.

In Ancient China, the Emperor was the holder of this power and with his army alongside him, he was a force to be reckoned with. Thus he staked claim to the vast lands that are China.

His final battle however ended in defeat. While people fell into submission all around him, the [[Warrior Monks]] of [[Tibet]] would not relent and courageously fought against his evil. Knowing the power of the dagger, they succeeded in removing it from the Dragon Emperor's heart - reducing him and his army to carnage. The dagger was returned to its resting place within [[The Great Wall]] and locked up for all time...

Now three parties hold the dagger close to their heart. And all for entirely different reasons.

Lara, forever the adventurer, is one of these. In her travels, she will encounter the other two...

Development of Tomb Raider II was already in its conceptual stages even before the first game was released. By the time Core was wrapping up Tomb Raider, many more ideas and suggestions had been put forth, some of which could be incorporated in the first game, others which would shape up to become the next installment of the series.

While several key members of [[Core Design]] had left (most notably Lara's creator [[Toby Gard]]), the design team for Tomb Raider II was drastically expanded to more than twice of its original size. Subsequently, the game took a shorter amount of time to develop than its predecessor. The decision to keep the engine from Tomb Raider was made early on, adopting a tweak-and-improve approach, rather than starting over from scratch. Minor camera issues and object glitches were fixed, while new features were added, such as dynamic lighting and a more flexible control system. Core Design used a custom built level editor that let them explore each stage as it was being created. This allowed the designers to test play levels on the fly and eliminate glitches.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, it is avaliable for [[PSP]], [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]].

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's Home)
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Lost Island]]

==In-game Elements==

===Gear===

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara wears her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. Throughout the basic game she will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]]. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the Sola [[Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

* [[Anniversary Outfit]]

* [[Original Manor Outfit]]

It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

'''Tomb Raider Chronicles''' is the fifth in the Tomb Raider game series, and the last of the [[Tomb Raider Classic]]. The game consists of 4 short adventures and has no expansions. A level editor program however accompanies the game.

== Release Dates in Detail ==

=== Windows ===
* [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Germany - 14th November 2000

=== PlayStation ===
* [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Germany - 14th November 2000

== Levels ==

{{tr5levels}}

==Synopsis==

==Summary==
Tomb Raider: Chronicles reveals four newly discovered, and previously untold adventures, taking you on a journey from the ruins of Rome, to the bowels of a German U boat, to the rooftops of a hi-tech city in a search of four ancient artifacts.

In light of Lara's recent disappearance, those closest to her gather together at the Croft Estate on a gray, rainy day for a memorial service in her honor. Afterwards, the friends sit quietly together in the study of the Croft Mansion and provide new insights about Lara's past exploits; exploits that have until now remained a secret...

==Features==
* Create your own adventures with the Tomb Raider level editor, including an example/tutorial level plus all the tools required to construct levels. (PC Version Only)

* Utilize new moves to overcome obstacles: tightrope walking, parallel bar swinging, and a hand-to-hand stealth attack.

* Enhanced inventory system for greater combinations of a variety of weapons and items.

* Search through cabinets, shelves and drawers for inventory items.

* Discover the back story: four unique scenarios from the past that give more details about Lara's young and adult life as well as characters from previous adventures.

== Gameplay ==

The game uses the same engine that created [[The Last Revelation]]. Lara can perform all the moves from the previous games but Chronicles boasts no new moves. The only weapon to be added to Lara's arsenal is the grappling gun which is only used twice in the game. The HK Gun is not a new weapon, but rather an upgrade of the [[MP5]]. Graphics are slightly improved, with better reflections off Lara's catsuit, a new outfit which Lara wears later in the game.

The only unique essence about Chronicles is the story telling mode which it adopts, the short but snappy stories do not intertwine with each other. [[Larson]] and [[Pierre Du Pont]] make a second appearance giving us some chronological order to the adventures that take place. Along with Chronicles, comes the [[Level Editor]], a chance for players to edit rooms and create their own obstacles, then test them using Lara.

Again [[Croft Mansion]] does not appear in the game. Instead, a short obstacle and training course disguised as a backstage area of an opera house makes an appearance at the beginning of the level: Streets of Rome.

== Story ==
===Introduction===
It is a cold dark rainy day, the [[memorial service]] for Lara Croft over, [[Charles Kane]], [[Winston]] and [[Father Dunstan]] retire to Croft Mansion. As they collect their thoughts, they reminisce about Lara's past adventures...

Meanwhile hundreds of miles away [[Werner Von Croy]] co-ordinates the frantic dig searching for answers buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert...

== Locations ==

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and will come out on [[PSP]], [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]. So far it has not been stated, if the [[Unfinished Business]]-part will be included.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artifact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's home)
* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)
* [[Greece]]

====Weapons====

* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Magnums]]
* [[Uzis]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the Sola [[Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included.

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Larson Conway

2007-06-03T07:00:20Z

Tutuy: /* Play Anniversary as Larson */

[[Image:Larson.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Larson (TR5)]]
'''Larson Conway''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], the remake [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] and [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. He did not have a surname in Tomb Raider and Chronicles yet, this was given to him for [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]].

The name Larson, coupled with the character's blond hair, suggests Scandinavian heritage, although Larson himself speaks with a Texan accent. He is portrayed as being something of a halfwit, which [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" at some point in his life.

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==
(Events occurred before 1996.)

In [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]], Larson appears in the first two levels of [[Rome]], the first story of the game. Larson is working with [[Pierre DuPont]] to gain possession of an artefact that [[Lara Croft|Lara]] is also in pursuit of.

Larson appears in the pre-story FMV, and also four cut scenes; two in [[Streets of Rome]] and two in [[Trajan's Markets]]. As well as this, Larson is included as an in-game enemy several times. Although [[Lara Croft|Lara]] has quite a few shots at killing him, Larson is finally finished off - at least for this game - after being tossed about by a dragon gargoyle.

He obviously survived this attack as he made his ''return'' in the original [[Tomb Raider]] where we met him for the first time but which was chronologically placed after the Rome events in the Tomb Raider timeline.

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1996.)

Larson appears as one of [[Jacqueline Natla]]'s henchmen. After the initial meeting with [[Lara Croft|Lara]] in [[Calcutta]] at the start of the game, Larson appears in [[Tomb Of Qualopec]], both as an in-game enemy, and in the post-level cut scene. After a brief exchange between the two (concerning the [[Scion]] and the whereabouts of [[Pierre DuPont]]), Larson is knocked out by [[Lara Croft|Lara]] when he makes a grab for his gun.

[[Sanctuary of the Scion]] sees the third and final appearance of Larson. Guarding the second part of the Scion, players are expected to shoot him dead (although can leave him alive if they wish, as is the case with most enemies in [[Tomb Raider]]).

At this point it is uncertain if this way his final demise.

He is one of the unlockable characters in [[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]].

==Play Anniversary as Larson==
Coming soon.

==Outer Appearance==

In [[Tomb Raider]], Larson wears a red shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. He also wears a unbuttoned brown vest in the first FMV. His weapon is a [[handgun]] with a [[lasersight]] attached.

In [[Chronicles]] Larson appears in the same outfit as he wore in the first Tomb Raider, including the vest. His weapon is a [[Revolver]]. Both Larson and [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] are portrayed as a lot more comical in their second Tomb Raider appearance.

In [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] he is wearing a dark-blue shirt instead of his red one we know from the other games.

==Trivia==
Larson was the first character ever to speak in a Tomb Raider game.

'''Larson Conway''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], the remake [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] and [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. He did not have a surname in Tomb Raider and Chronicles yet, this was given to him for [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]].

The name Larson, coupled with the character's blond hair, suggests Scandinavian heritage, although Larson himself speaks with a Texan accent. He is portrayed as being something of a halfwit, which [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" at some point in his life.

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==
(Events occurred before 1996.)

In [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]], Larson appears in the first two levels of [[Rome]], the first story of the game. Larson is working with [[Pierre DuPont]] to gain possession of an artefact that [[Lara Croft|Lara]] is also in pursuit of.

Larson appears in the pre-story FMV, and also four cut scenes; two in [[Streets of Rome]] and two in [[Trajan's Markets]]. As well as this, Larson is included as an in-game enemy several times. Although [[Lara Croft|Lara]] has quite a few shots at killing him, Larson is finally finished off - at least for this game - after being tossed about by a dragon gargoyle.

He obviously survived this attack as he made his ''return'' in the original [[Tomb Raider]] where we met him for the first time but which was chronologically placed after the Rome events in the Tomb Raider timeline.

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1996.)

Larson appears as one of [[Jacqueline Natla]]'s henchmen. After the initial meeting with [[Lara Croft|Lara]] in [[Calcutta]] at the start of the game, Larson appears in [[Tomb Of Qualopec]], both as an in-game enemy, and in the post-level cut scene. After a brief exchange between the two (concerning the [[Scion]] and the whereabouts of [[Pierre DuPont]]), Larson is knocked out by [[Lara Croft|Lara]] when he makes a grab for his gun.

[[Sanctuary of the Scion]] sees the third and final appearance of Larson. Guarding the second part of the Scion, players are expected to shoot him dead (although can leave him alive if they wish, as is the case with most enemies in [[Tomb Raider]]).

At this point it is uncertain if this way his final demise.

He is one of the unlockable characters in [[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]].

==Play Anniversary as Larson==
Coming soon
==Outer Appearance==

In [[Tomb Raider]], Larson wears a red shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. He also wears a unbuttoned brown vest in the first FMV. His weapon is a [[handgun]] with a [[lasersight]] attached.

In [[Chronicles]] Larson appears in the same outfit as he wore in the first Tomb Raider, including the vest. His weapon is a [[Revolver]]. Both Larson and [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] are portrayed as a lot more comical in their second Tomb Raider appearance.

In [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] he is wearing a dark-blue shirt instead of his red one we know from the other games.

==Trivia==
Larson was the first character ever to speak in a Tomb Raider game.

Pierre DuPont

Tutuy:

[[Image:Pierre.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Pierre (Chronicles)]] '''Pierre DuPont''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], in [[Chronicles]] and in [[Anniversary]].

Lara's first encounter with Pierre DuPont is unknown, as she seemed to know him already when she first met him in the Opera in [[Rome]], in [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. (This was chronologically their first encounter, as the events of [[Tomb Raider I]] / [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]], occurred later in history. - Source: Official Tomb Raider Files)

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==
(Events occurred before 1996.)

Lara made an arrangement to buy the [[Mercury Stone]] from Pierre and his associate [[Larson Conway]]. They agreed to meet in the [[Opera]] in [[Rome]], [[Italy]].

While discussing the transaction with Larson, Pierre steps in with his pistol loaded. This encounter results in a little fight during which Lara punches Pierre in the face and then flees down to the stage, using the curtain on the way, with the artefact she could manage to get from Larson. Pierre then fires a round of bullets at the stage towards Lara who then storms out of the opera.

In the following scenes Lara is chased though some back alleys behind the opera, riding a motor scooter, followed by Larson and Pierre in a stolen taxi cab. She manages to escape through a lowered gate sliding past underneath.

During the course of the ensuing level she will often encounter the two, and sometimes they will spy on her unnoticed. During one of these events Pierre will prevent Larson from shooting at Lara from the rooftops.

Here most memorable encounter with Pierre during this adventure is when Lara almost fell over the edge of a slope in [[The Colosseum]]. She manages to convince Pierre to give her a helping hand, by promising him the Mercury Stone and not to lay a finger on him. After he helps her out of her unfortunate situation, she manages to get behind him and scares him over the edge, simply saying 'boo'. She in turn does not help him up, cruelly honouring the promise not to lay a hand on him. We then hear Pierre fall to his demise. As we ''later'' learn he did not die but made his return in the events of the original [[Tomb Raider]].

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1996.)

In the story of the original [[Tomb Raider]] he will attack Lara for the first time in [[St. Francis Folly]] (Level 5) where he lurks between the columns. Lara has to chase him away by shooting back at him.

He will be back when you are in the tower with the doors of [[Damocles]], [[Thor]], [[Atlas]] and [[Neptune]]. He will shoot at you from below.

Lara will meet him again in the next level [[Colosseum]] we will attack her upon entering the amphitheatre itself. He will reappear in the Colosseum at a later time.

Two levels later, in the [[Cistern]] Pierre is back again.

Also in the [[Tomb of Tihocan]] he is back again. Lara will meet him during the level and again at the end for the final showdown. After bringing him down Lara can collect his [[Magnums]] and the second part of the [[Scion]].

He is an unlockable character in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]].

==Play Anniversary As Pierre==
Coming soon.

==Gone bald!==
[[Image:1509copy.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Pierre in Anniversary]]
Pierre's appearance has changed radically for Tomb Raider: Anniversary. He is going to return bald. Complaints by fans are that he looks nothing like the classic Pierre, but rather like [[Charles Kane]].

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and will come out on [[PSP]], [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]. So far it has not been stated, if the [[Unfinished Business]]-part will be included.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==Levels==
N/A (yet) It is likely, that the levels will not be exactly as in the original [[Tomb Raider]] as the streaming engine allows whole sections to be in one actual level.

Courtesy to gathered information, a total of 11 levels and walkthroughs for each have been revealed by fans who already purchased the game.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artifact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)

====Weapons====

* [[Magnums]]
* [[Uzis]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the Sola [[Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

Since then, Tomb Raider has gone on to become one of the world's most successful videogame franchises of all time, and Lara's latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a celebration of Lara’s original adventure in an entirely new Crystal Dynamics game.

Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've created Anniversary, a completely fresh experience for Tomb Raider fans and a brand new game for those who are new to the series," said Sean Vesce, Studio Manager, Crystal Dynamics.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included (unconfirmed)

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've created Anniversary, a completely fresh experience for Tomb Raider fans and a brand new game for those who are new to the series," said Sean Vesce, Studio Manager, Crystal Dynamics.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included (unconfirmed)

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

Lara made an arrangement to buy the [[Mercury Stone]] from Pierre and his associate [[Larson Conway]]. They agreed to meet in the [[Opera]] in [[Rome]], [[Italy]].

While discussing the transaction with Larson, Pierre steps in with his pistol loaded. This encounter results in a little fight during which Lara punches Pierre in the face and then flees down to the stage, using the curtain on the way, with the artefact she could manage to get from Larson. Pierre then fires a round of bullets at the stage towards Lara who then storms out of the opera.

In the following scenes Lara is chased though some back alleys behind the opera, riding a motor scooter, followed by Larson and Pierre in a stolen taxi cab. She manages to escape through a lowered gate sliding past underneath.

During the course of the ensuing level she will often encounter the two, and sometimes they will spy on her unnoticed. During one of these events Pierre will prevent Larson from shooting at Lara from the rooftops.

Here most memorable encounter with Pierre during this adventure is when Lara almost fell over the edge of a slope in [[The Colosseum]]. She manages to convince Pierre to give her a helping hand, by promising him the Mercury Stone and not to lay a finger on him. After he helps her out of her unfortunate situation, she manages to get behind him and scares him over the edge, simply saying 'boo'. She in turn does not help him up, cruelly honouring the promise not to lay a hand on him. We then hear Pierre fall to his demise. As we ''later'' learn he did not die but made his return in the events of the original [[Tomb Raider]].

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1996.)

In the story of the original [[Tomb Raider]] he will attack Lara for the first time in [[St. Francis Folly]] (Level 5) where he lurks between the columns. Lara has to chase him away by shooting back at him.

He will be back when you are in the tower with the doors of [[Damocles]], [[Thor]], [[Atlas]] and [[Neptune]]. He will shoot at you from below.

Lara will meet him again in the next level [[Colosseum]] we will attack her upon entering the amphitheatre itself. He will reappear in the Colosseum at a later time.

Two levels later, in the [[Cistern]] Pierre is back again.

Also in the [[Tomb of Tihocan]] he is back again. Lara will meet him during the level and again at the end for the final showdown. After bringing him down Lara can collect his [[Magnums]] and the second part of the [[Scion]].

He is an unlockable character in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] cheat will come soon.

Larson Conway

2007-06-01T02:55:18Z

Tutuy: /* Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary */

[[Image:Larson.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Larson (TR5)]]
'''Larson Conway''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], the remake [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] and [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. He did not have a surname in Tomb Raider and Chronicles yet, this was given to him for [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]].

The name Larson, coupled with the character's blond hair, suggests Scandinavian heritage, although Larson himself speaks with a Texan accent. He is portrayed as being something of a halfwit, which [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" at some point in his life.

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==
(Events occurred before 1996.)

In [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]], Larson appears in the first two levels of [[Rome]], the first story of the game. Larson is working with [[Pierre DuPont]] to gain possession of an artefact that [[Lara Croft|Lara]] is also in pursuit of.

Larson appears in the pre-story FMV, and also four cut scenes; two in [[Streets of Rome]] and two in [[Trajan's Markets]]. As well as this, Larson is included as an in-game enemy several times. Although [[Lara Croft|Lara]] has quite a few shots at killing him, Larson is finally finished off - at least for this game - after being tossed about by a dragon gargoyle.

He obviously survived this attack as he made his ''return'' in the original [[Tomb Raider]] where we met him for the first time but which was chronologically placed after the Rome events in the Tomb Raider timeline.

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1996.)

Larson appears as one of [[Jacqueline Natla]]'s henchmen. After the initial meeting with [[Lara Croft|Lara]] in [[Calcutta]] at the start of the game, Larson appears in [[Tomb Of Qualopec]], both as an in-game enemy, and in the post-level cut scene. After a brief exchange between the two (concerning the [[Scion]] and the whereabouts of [[Pierre DuPont]]), Larson is knocked out by [[Lara Croft|Lara]] when he makes a grab for his gun.

[[Sanctuary of the Scion]] sees the third and final appearance of Larson. Guarding the second part of the Scion, players are expected to shoot him dead (although can leave him alive if they wish, as is the case with most enemies in [[Tomb Raider]]).

At this point it is uncertain if this way his final demise.

he is one of the unlockable characters in [[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]] cheat will come soon.

==Outer Appearance==

In [[Tomb Raider]], Larson wears a red shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. He also wears a unbuttoned brown vest in the first FMV. His weapon is a [[handgun]] with a [[lasersight]] attached.

In [[Chronicles]] Larson appears in the same outfit as he wore in the first Tomb Raider, including the vest. His weapon is a [[Revolver]]. Both Larson and [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] are portrayed as a lot more comical in their second Tomb Raider appearance.

In [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] he is wearing a dark-blue shirt instead of his red one we know from the other games.

==Trivia==
Larson was the first character ever to speak in a Tomb Raider game.

The '''Cowboy''' appears in [[Tomb Raider 1]] in the level [[Natla's Mines]] of the [[Atlantis]] part. He has stolen Lara's [[Magnums]] and is using them against her.

There is a fault that if you go into his stage of Natla's Mines after you've killed he will some times repeat his pharse which he says before he starts shooting lara.

He will not return for [[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]].

Tutuy:

The '''Harpys''' are mythical flying creatures that make their appearance in Tomb Raider: [[The Last Revelation]].

They can perform two kinds of attacks. They can either fire energy bolts at Lara or attack her with their talons.

They are also popular creatures in the level editor.

==Occurrence==
* [[The Last Revelation]]
** [[Pharos, Temple Of Isis]]
** [[Cleopatra's Palaces]]
** [[Custom Levels]]

==Strategy==
Stay behind pillars or hide elsewhere when they fire their energy blasts. Listen to the noises they make. When the harpy charges for its attack it's time to get to safety.

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and will come out on [[PSP]], [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]. So far it has not been stated, if the [[Unfinished Business]]-part will be included.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==Release Dates & Platforms==

=== Full Version ===
According to the lastest Trailer/Video issued by Eidos the release is going to be in June, however there are also other trailers that appeared mainly in Europe still bearing "coming May 2007".

====PC, PlayStation 2====
* [[Image:ukflag.gif|20px|left]] [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Europe - June 1st 2007
* [[Image:usflag.gif|20px|left]] USA - June 5th 2007

====PlayStation Portable====
* [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Europe - after June 1st 2007
* [[Image:usflag.gif|20px|left]] USA - after June 5th 2007

====Nintendo Wii====
Later throughout the year 2007.

===Demo===
A demo version is planned.

==Levels==
N/A (yet) It is likely, that the levels will not be exactly as in the original [[Tomb Raider]] as the streaming engine allows whole sections to be in one actual level.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's home)
* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Atlantis]]

==In-game Elements==

===Gear===
The inventory will be like in the first Tomb Raider (rotating ring). Additionally Lara will have her [[grapple]], which will, according to rumour, not be magnetic this time.

====Weapons====
The only weapons are, according to rumour: [[pistols]], [[shotgun]] and [[uzis]]; the [[Magnums]] have been announced.

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the Sola [[Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

* [[Classic Outfit]]
* [[Catsuit]]
* [[Sola Diving Suit]]
* [[Standard Expedition Gear|Legend Outfit]] Classical Braid
* [[Aod Long Outfit]]
* [[Yoga Outfit]]
* [[Low Polygon Lara]]
* [[Atlantean Lara]]
* [[Atlantean Natla]]
* [[Golden Lara]]

===Vehicles===
There will be no [[vehicles]] in this game.

===Riddles===
* [[Damocles Riddle]]
* [[Atlas Riddle]]
* [[Haephestos Riddle]]
* [[Poseidon Riddle]]

== Characters & Enemies==
[[Alister]] and [[Zip]] will ''not'' accompany Lara during her travels this time.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
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 is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; 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.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. 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...

Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've 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" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

==Internet Rumours==
Unfinished business might be included (unconfirmed)

Also, a video has recently come out on the internet showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

==Other Info==
Sadly, Eidos has confimed that tomb raider music is no longer to be hosted on major notable fan websites like: Tomb Raider Chronicles, Tomb raider anniversary, planet lara & laracroft.tv, thanks to many
fans who have made many of their own websites. Eidos has confirmed that tomb raider music is banned from the internet, & after ten years of the tomb raider chronicles hosting music, they no longer host it, if you click the song title it will say "page not found".

'''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' is a game that is currently being made to celebrate Tomb Raider's 10th anniversary. At first it was supposed to be a [[PSP]] game made by [[Core Design]], but this was cancelled. Shortly later Eidos Interactive announced that the game was back on track, now being completed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and will come out on [[PSP]], [[PC]] and [[PlayStation 2]]. So far it has not been stated, if the [[Unfinished Business]]-part will be included.

The [[Croft Mansion]] will also be back in Anniversary, as it was a success in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] and dearly missed in [[The Angel of Darkness]] and the later games of the first generation.

==Release Dates & Platforms==

=== Full Version ===
According to the lastest Trailer/Video issued by Eidos the release is going to be in June, however there are also other trailers that appeared mainly in Europe still bearing "coming May 2007".

====PC, PlayStation 2====
* [[Image:ukflag.gif|20px|left]] [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Europe - June 1st 2007
* [[Image:usflag.gif|20px|left]] USA - June 5th 2007

====PlayStation Portable====
* [[Image:gerflag.gif|20px|left]] Europe - (presumably) after June 1st 2007
* [[Image:usflag.gif|20px|left]] USA -(presumably) after June 5th 2007

===Demo===
A demo version is planned.

==Levels==
N/A (yet) It is likely, that the levels will not be exactly as in the original [[Tomb Raider]] as the streaming engine allows whole sections to be in one actual level.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara’s guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] (Lara's home)
* [[Peru]] (TRA information available)
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Atlantis]]

==In-game Elements==

===Gear===
The inventory will be like in the first Tomb Raider (rotating ring). Additionally Lara will have her [[grapple]], which will, according to rumour, not be magnetic this time.

====Weapons====
The only weapons are, according to rumour: [[pistols]], [[shotgun]] and [[uzis]]; the [[Magnums]] have been announced.

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
It was announced that there will be lots of secrets in this game and that finding one will be accompanied by a secret sound.

===Outfits===
Lara will have her classical braid, not the hair of [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. She will wear her [[Classic Outfit|Classic green Outfit]] and maybe more. Like in Tomb Raider Legend, several costumes will be unlockable, like the Sola [[Diving Suit]] and a full body black [[Catsuit]].

* [[Classic Outfit]]
* [[Catsuit]]

* [[Standard Expedition Gear|Legend Outfit]] Classical Braid
* [[Aod Long Outfit]]
* [[Yoga Outfit]]
* [[Low Polygon Lara]]
* [[Atlantean Lara]]

===Vehicles===

===Riddles===
* [[Damocles Riddle]]
* [[Atlas Riddle]]
* [[Haephestos Riddle]]
* [[Poseidon Riddle]]

== Characters & Enemies==
[[Alister]] and [[Zip]] will ''not'' accompany Lara during her travels this time.

Pierre DuPont

2007-05-03T16:03:18Z

Tutuy: /* Speculations */

[[Image:Pierre.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Pierre (Chronicles)]] '''Pierre DuPont''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], in [[Chronicles]] and in [[Anniversary]].

Lara's first encounter with Pierre DuPont is unknown, as she seemed to know him already when she first met him in the Opera in [[Rome]], in [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. (This was chronologically their first encounter, as the events of [[Tomb Raider I]] / [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]], occurred later in history. - Source: Official Tomb Raider Files)

==Tomb Raider Chronicles==
(Events occurred before 1996.)

Lara made an arrangement to buy the [[Mercury Stone]] from Pierre and his associate [[Larson Conway]]. They agreed to meet in the [[Opera]] in [[Rome]], [[Italy]].

While discussing the transaction with Larson, Pierre steps in with his pistol loaded. This encounter results in a little fight during which Lara punches Pierre in the face and then flees down to the stage, using the curtain on the way, with the artefact she could manage to get from Larson. Pierre then fires a round of bullets at the stage towards Lara who then storms out of the opera.

In the following scenes Lara is chased though some back alleys behind the opera, riding a motor scooter, followed by Larson and Pierre in a stolen taxi cab. She manages to escape through a lowered gate sliding past underneath.

During the course of the ensuing level she will often encounter the two, and sometimes they will spy on her unnoticed. During one of these events Pierre will prevent Larson from shooting at Lara from the rooftops.

Here most memorable encounter with Pierre during this adventure is when Lara almost fell over the edge of a slope in [[The Colosseum]]. She manages to convince Pierre to give her a helping hand, by promising him the Mercury Stone and not to lay a finger on him. After he helps her out of her unfortunate situation, she manages to get behind him and scares him over the edge, simply saying 'boo'. She in turn does not help him up, cruelly honouring the promise not to lay a hand on him. We then hear Pierre fall to his demise. As we ''later'' learn he did not die but made his return in the events of the original [[Tomb Raider]].

==Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary==
(Events occurred in 1999.)

In the story of the original [[Tomb Raider]] he will attack Lara for the first time in [[St. Francis Folly]] (Level 5) where he lurks between the columns. Lara has to chase him away by shooting back at him.

He will be back when you are in the tower with the doors of [[Damocles]], [[Thor]], [[Atlas]] and [[Neptune]]. He will shoot at you from below.

Lara will meet him again in the next level [[Colosseum]] we will attack her upon entering the amphitheatre itself. He will reappear in the Colosseum at a later time.

Two levels later, in the [[Cistern]] Pierre is back again.

Also in the [[Tomb of Tihocan]] he is back again. Lara will meet him during the level and again at the end for the final showdown. After bringing him down Lara can collect his [[Magnums]] and the second part of the [[Scion]].

It's confirmed that he will be unlockable in Anniversary.

==Speculations==
[[Image:pierretraek7.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Is this Pierre?]]
Fans are also wondering if Pierre in Tomb Raider: Anniversary is going to return bald, since a scan of a bold character with beard appeared on the internet. there is also a video of him on ign. Complaints are that he looks nothing like the classic Pierre, but rather like [[Charles Kane]]. It is possible that this isn't Pierre at all but the character [[Kold]].

Also in the [[Tomb of Tihocan]] he is back again. Lara will meet him during the level and again at the end for the final showdown. After bringing him down Lara can collect his [[Magnums]] and the second part of the [[Scion]].

It's confirmed that he will be unlockable in Anniversary.

==Speculations==
[[Image:pierretraek7.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Is this Pierre?]]
Fans are also wondering if Pierre in Tomb Raider: Anniversary is going to return bald, since a scan of a bold character with beard appeared on the internet. ther is also a video of him on ign. Complaints are that he looks nothing like the classic Pierre, but rather like [[Charles Kane]]. It is possible that this isn't Pierre at all but the character [[Kold]].
