Eidos Interactive has revealed that the upcoming Tomb Raider: Underworld will be released in November 2008.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the eighth instalment in the popular adventure series will once again pit gamers in the shoes of Lara Croft, as she embarks on an investigation into a series of ruins in Southern Mexico.
Here, Croft inadvertently stumbles across a portal to the underworld dimension, Xibalba, which opens during the five days of Wayeb on the Maya calendar. The game will also allow players to visit locations such as Australia, Easter Island, and Rome, with areas set "in places no-one has seen for centuries.”
Underworld will feature a host of new features over its predecessor, including interactive environments, dynamic lighting and weather effects, enhanced visuals, as well as all-new manoeuvres for Croft to perform.
Tomb Raider: Underworld is due out on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox 360 DS and Wii.
Stay tuned.
