One of the big reasons that Square Enix bought Eidos a year ago was the Tomb Raider game franchise. Today Square Enix announced their plans for their first game in the series since buying Eidos and it's already looks to be a bit different. The game is titled Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (yep, there is no "Tomb Raider" in the title) and will be released as a digital download game rather than a retail product.
The game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics, who have created the last few retail Tomb Raider games. There's no word yet on what the game will be all about with the press release only promising that it will be "completely new and very different." It will be shown behind closed doors to the media next week at the Game Developers Conference.

Man, the times sure do suck again for Lara Croft. I mean she came back from (somewhat) obscurity and a couple of awful games, to be reborn in a couple of good games, to only be bought out and used by Japanese businessmen and put out to dry on the video game equivalent of going "straight to DVD" .
