Lara Croft’s next adventure has been confirmed in the January issue of Game Informer Magazine. As you can tell from the photo, Lara has seen better days. Lara was apparently involved in a really bad ocean storm and ended up on a beach. It sounds like Cast Away without the plane and volleyball. This new game entitled Tomb Raider, is going to take the series to a place it has never been before.

Layoffs hit Crystal Dynamics after disappointing Tomb Raider Underworld sales
In the wake of what Eidos considered lackluster holiday sales for Tomb Raider Underworld, developer Crystal Dynamics laid off approximately 30 people on Friday (January 9, 2009), according to Kotaku. Ironically, Crystal Dynamics is the developer hailed for breathing life back into the Tomb Raider franchise after it had become synonymous with sequelitis.
Even Underworld doesn’t seem to be a flop by reasonable standards, having sold 1.5 million units in a crowded holiday season filled with blockbuster titles. The true answer may lie in a look at Eidos’ stock price, which dipped by 25 percent after the company announced the latest Lara Croft installment had failed to…

On November 8, 2008, at 9 PM, the festivities will commence at The Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) in Montreal, as part of Festival Arcadia.
Really.
