Eidos has announced that Tomb Raider: Underworld will be out in November for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PS2 and PC.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider: Underworld is the first Lara Croft adventure built specifically for next-generation consoles and promises an “epic adventure that offers a new level of challenge and choice.”
The legend of the weapon of the Norse god Thor says that whoever holds the hammer wields ultimate power to smash mountains and destroy even the gods. It has been a myth for over a thousand years until Lara discovers proof of the Norse underworld and the hammer.
The game sees Lara embarking on a quest to uncover the secrets of the Norse underworld and a forgotten power that will threaten civilization if unleashed. Lara will have to use her duel guns and an expanded kit of archaeological tools as well as objects in the environment and her broad range of acrobatic abilities if she is to uncover new paths and survive.
Lara’s quest will see her explore exotic locations including Thailand, frozen islands of the Arctic Sea and the jungles of Mexico. Players will face elaborate multi-stage puzzles in each level and can use a new range of combat options as you choose to pacify or kill enemies, target multiple enemies at once with the new dual-target system and shoot with one hand while suspended with the other.
Lara’s inventory has been upgraded to include an active sonar map (emits active sonar ping to create a 3D image of the surroundings and enables Lara to uncover hidden items and locations) as well as a multiple purpose grapple (claw-like device with a high-tension cable that enables Lara to climb, rappel, wall run and manipulate objects). The game also includes a new all-terrain hybrid motorbike which can drive on mud, snow and ice.
