Tomb Raider: Anniversary comes to Xbox Live

Eidos Interactive has made the popular Lara Croft adventure, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, available for download via Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace.

Eidos reckons this is the first time that the serialisation of a full retail game will be available for purchase through Xbox Live Marketplace.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider at a basic level, but has been given a complete makeover and a lot more extras.

“We have created this version of Anniversary specifically for digital distribution as episodic content,” said Jane Cavanagh, chief executive at Eidos.

“This is part of our strategy to grow our presence in on-line and digital distribution as we believe there are huge opportunities in this format and we intend to capitalise on the increasing demand for digitally downloaded content. “Lara has always been at the forefront of technology and this world first with Microsoft highlights that fact. Ultimately we also intend to make the title available at retail so that it reaches the maximum possible audience.”
