As reported by Tomb Raider Chronicles, the latest issue of Play contains the first information regarding the next iteration of the Tomb Raider series. The issue was apparently available online earlier this morning, but has since been removed from Play's online store. Thankfully, Tomb Raider Chronicles have the details anyway. First and foremost, the game takes place after Tomb Raider: Legend. The game will be subtitled Underworld and will feature "a lush, vast interactive world." Whether or not this means the game will utilize the ever trendy sandbox / open world gameplay style remains unclear. The rest of the details center around nifty graphical effects like realistic footprint physics (no, seriously) and the fully motion captured acrobatics of Lara's latest incarnation. The game just might make it for a 2008 release and, yes, a 360 version looks to be in the cards.

Legend was the first Tomb Raider game I played. And I must say I was impressed by it. It was fun, and I was hooked by it. I am eagerly anticipating a sequel to Legend, as it actually had quite a strong plot.

Cool. I'm actually looking forward to this. Legend was pretty fun and for once Lara actually felt graceful and unclunky. My only real complaint was how damn easy it was, even on Hard. Fix that and I'll give this a shot.

Oh! And add sharks with laser beams, and dinosaurs with machine guns. And if possible, mayan ruins.

"Lara's next-generation debut"? So... for the next XBOX? When can we finally be in the current generation? 360 is 2 years old! :|

So true. Maybe after PS3 and Wii gets 2 yrs old...It seems we will always be in the next-gen and when the true next-gen comes we will be feelin all old again. Stupid marketing mumbo-jumbos...

Legend was, although a rental at heart (too short), one of the best experiences I've had on the 360, and one of the overall most enjoyable games I've played in some time. I hated any previous Tomb Raider I touched. I look forward to this sequel.
