UK, March 4, 2010 - Lara Croft is returning for an all-new adventure, its voluptuous icon returning for Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light, a download-only title coming to unspecified platforms in 2010.

No mention has been made of the Tomb Raider name in the official press release, suggesting this will be a departure from the mainline series.

Crystal Dynamics return on the development duties, and General Manager Darrell Gallagher sounded suitably excited by the news. "This is a really exciting project for Crystal Dynamics, we have created something completely new and very different to what people might be expecting" he said whilst backflipping and shooting a tiger.

Lara's last outing – and indeed her first proper adventure on the current generation – was Tomb Raider Underworld, a game we rather liked and awarded an 8.5.

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light is being shown at next week's GDC in San Francisco, so expect more news soon.

I'm quite intrigued, I rather like the TR games.
