In a financial release from Eidos' parent company SCi Entertainment, a series of minor product announcements were revealed, including a sequel to Avalance Studios' multi-platform Just Cause. As expected, Eidos will continue to milk its current franchises and base upcoming releases on platform market share. From the statement:

Our future next generation console titles include new versions of Tomb Raider, Hitman and Championship Manager plus exciting new IPs including Kane & Lynch and Crossfire. In the light of the launch of the Sony Playstation 3 in North America in November 2006 and its planned European launch in Spring 2007 we are assessing the timing of when to launch these titles on the appropriate next generation platforms.

Since we already know that Tomb Raider: Anniversary and a next-gen Tomb Raider are in the works, this shouldn't be a surprise. I'm in for Anniversary and hope that the next Lara outing will keep the quality up. Michael McWhertor
