Tomb Raider Anniversary on Steam News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC

Available on Friday.

Eidos has revealed that Tomb Raider Anniversary will be digitally distributed through Steam.

It'll be available to download on 1st June and will set you back USD 29.95, which is roughly 15 quid, or 22 Euro-bob.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary - originally conceived as the 10th anniversary edition - is a remake of the original game using an updated Tomb Raider: Legend engine. As well as all the ledge-hanging, rope-swinging and block-pushing of Legend, remade Lara can also shimmy up pillars, Prince of Persia-style, and perch on top of them, er, Sly Raccoon-style.

A demo of the PC version is already available to try out, although those of you with a PS2 will have to wait until Friday. A confirmed date has yet to be set for the PSP offering.

Head over to our recent Tomb Raider Anniversary first impressions for more information.

Presumably that doesn't include VAT, though, so it'll be about the same as play.com anyway.

Steam does indeed make you pay VAT on top, so it'll be about $35.

Strange there's no demo on Steam, as they released a demo of TR:Legend on there...

I was wondering if no demo meant it's crap, but feedback I've seen so far seems positive....

EDIT: Scratch that - demo's just appeared on Steam!

�15?!

Even I'm tempted by that. Borrowed the original off a friend and loved it until about level 7 and then he suddenly turned up one day and took it off me. Never touched a Tomb Raider since :/

Good stuff. Saves me trekking to the shops. (As well as a few pennies).

I'm still holding out for the 360 version, but a cheap Steam version sounds like a viable alternative. (Still going to wait a bit more though. Just in case.)

Ditto Jonathan, I'm holding out a few months for a 360 version before I relent and get it off Steam.

You can't buy this on Steam any more if you live in Europe.
If you do want to buy online the Eidos website now has a link that takes you to a page from Bluefish media, which I think is owned by Eidos. The terms and conditions are in German and they're charging 30 pounds for it, only 12 pounds more than buying it on a nice shiny disk from Amazon/Game/HMV/Play/Anyone you can think of.
A pox on their houses.

It's gonna be up on Live Marketplace shortly as DLC for the 360 version of Legend as well. I'd rather have it as a retail version on disc, but this is better than nothing i suppose...
