Tomb Raider IV
In a financial release from Eidos this morning, "a further iteration of the Tomb Raider franchise" was announced. Both Core and Eidos were unavailable for comment at the time of going to press. On the money side of things, the publisher showed revenues for the third quarter last year were $201.7 million, up from $130.3 million for the corresponding previous period. "We look forward to building on the Company's exceptional performance with a consistent pipeline of premium releases in the final quarter of our current fiscal year and beyond," said Eidos' boss, Ian Livingstone. "The current quarter sees the release of Akuji: The Heartless, Gex III: Deep Cover Gecko, Warzone 2100, UEFA Champions League, FA Manager, Official Formula 1 Racing and Championship Manager 3, sequel to the UK's most successful PC game of '97. We believe that our release schedule is one of the strongest in the industry, with other releases for 1999 to include Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Daikatana, Omikron, Braveheart, Urban Chaos and a further iteration from the Tomb Raider franchise." Details on the mystery title are, as yet, non-existent. Could we see a platform change for the busty heroine in '99?
