bits of the original trilogy and deliver a new and improved version, whilst
still retaining that familiar blend of puzzles, exploration and action that the
series is famous for,” Simon Protheroe, New Media and IT Director at Eidos
commented. “With completely revamped graphics, the Peruvian sections of the
mobile game are now more akin to the latest console version of Anniversary, so
mobile gamers are in for a treat.”
The game is being developed by
FinBlade, a new British Development Studio. “I can think of no better game to be
working on as the debut title for our new studio” said John Chasey, President of
FinBlade, “I’m looking forward to Tomb Raider: Anniversary being a huge hit just
like the original titles were.”

action; featuring spike traps, walls of flame, devious puzzles and deadly foes –
