Crystal Dynamics has revealed that downloadable co-op adventure Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will cost punters roughly GBP £10 when it hits PSN this summer.
Chatting with Eurogamer, the firm’s global brand manager, Karl Stewart, commented: "We believe that, in terms of the arcade space, we’re trying to raise the bar of what it means to spend 10 pounds or 1200 Microsoft Points on nowadays.”
When prodded as to whether or not this was the price point the company was aiming for, he said, "Yeah, it’s what we’re aiming at," adding, "Obviously we’re dictated to somewhat by the first-parties and their pricing models. Right now we’ve suggested to them that we want to come in line with all of the rest of the big hitters that have come out over the last year or so."
Apparently, Croft’s latest outing will pack in roughly eight hours worth of gameplay, with Stewart adding that the company is aiming for a simultaneous ship date around July/August.
"The plan is to have a sim-ship, but we won’t know until post-E3," he said. "We’ll have the game in submission in about two weeks, so it will be complete. It’ll be about a month and then it will be up to Microsoft and Sony as to when they want us [the game] to come out."
"Summer is the biggest time for arcade gaming and they [the platform holders] have their time-lines," he added. "For PC we pick the date, but obviously we want to make sure we get as close to sim-ship as possible."
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is due out on PS3, PC and 360.
