Due out this autumn.
Having already released Tomb Raider: Legend on PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and PC, with PSP and GameCube versions on the way, Eidos has announced plans to complete the set with DS and GBA versions this autumn.
But NVIDIA fans still out of luck.
Just days after Tomb Raider: Legend hit the shops, Eidos has released a new patch for the PC version of the game.
It addresses unspecified problems with performance, stability and the controller - but there's bad news for those who are having trouble with their spanky new NVIDIA cards.
According to Eidos, "The patch does not yet completely resolve the performance issues with the activated Next-Gen content on NVIDIA cards. NVIDIA actively works on an updated driver that should fully address the problems."
Plus themes and pics.
Eidos has released a playable demo of Tomb Raider: Legend over Xbox 360 Marketplace to go with the PC one released earlier this week.

And interview with Toby Gard.
Eidos has released a new trailer for Lara Croft's latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Legend.
It's being developed by Crystal Dynamics with the help of Toby Gard, the man who invented Lara and who has since had to watch her painful decline.
"I saw the opportunity to help reinvigorate Lara, who in all truth has ended up in a bit of a mess," said Gard.
Tomb Raider and Hitman delayed
SCi-dos wants some hits, man.
Tomb Raider: Legend and Hitman: Blood Money have slipped to early 2006, SCi-dos (see what we did there?) has confirmed.
Lara returns with more make-up, less chest and a brand new motorbike. Watch her go.
Eidos has released a new trailer for Tomb Raider: Legend, currently in development for PC, PS2 and Xbox. It's available now on Eurofiles.
The trailer shows our Lara rope-swinging, gap-jumping and baddie-popping her way through a variety of environments, including modern cityscapes along with the more traditional tombs and temples.
It doen't show her putting on make-up, though, which we imagine must take up at least half of her day since she now sports more eyeliner than a Bangkok ladyboy. But there is a bit where she's driving a motorbike, so that's good news.
Tomb Raider, Hitman, Commandos, Generic Urban Gangbanger #387. And more announcements to come?
UK publisher Eidos has confirmed four key titles going on show at this year's E3, hinting that there could be more announcements to follow.
First Tomb Raider: Legend shots
You've seen what she looks like. Now you can see where she plays.
Lara Croft's looking very different these days. More human. And she's running around environments much closer in theme and design to those that inspired her huge following in the first place.
Lara returns with relatively normal-sized breasts, but tiniest t-shirt ever. Oh and a new game.
Ah, Lara - how we've missed her athletic exploring and ancient artefact-appropriating antics. But now Eidos has found time in its busy schedule of being taken over by SCi to reveal a few more details about her next adventure.
Tomb Raider: Legend is the latest in a series of games which can be individually summarised as Good, Nearly As Good, Too Hard, Quite Good, Dull and Rubbish. It's being developed by Crystal Dynamics, the people behind Legacy of Kain, and will be their first TR title.
"In setting the stage for the Tomb Raider franchise moving forward, we took ourselves back to Lara's origins, asked ourselves the hard questions and challenged ourselves to think differently," said Eidos bigwig Chip Blundell.
