The first "chapter," titled Beneath the Ashes, will release this Christmas, and will add a new area to explore with new enemies to battle against. The second chapter, titled Lara's Shadow, is even more intriguing -- it'll release in early 2009, and add "a new kind of playable character" that will create a "unique Tomb Raider experience."
"We are constantly looking at ways to extend our franchises, whilst developing a deeper relationship with our players," said Sean Vesce, general manager for developer Crystal Dynamics. "The retail release of any videogame is just the start of the player experience; from there it all depends where you want to take the player in terms of ideas and innovation. With these additional chapters and the online reach of Xbox LIVE, we are able to deliver exclusive content to millions of gamers worldwide."
The price was not yet announced for this content, but expect to see more information before its release in December."We are constantly looking at ways to extend our franchises, whilst developing a deeper relationship with our players," said Sean Vesce, general manager for developer Crystal Dynamics.
