Eidos Takes Aim at the 2005 Electronics Entertainment Expo With
Compelling Game Line-Up E3 Marks the Debut of Lara Croft Tomb
Raider: Legend, Hitman: Blood Money and Commandos Strike Force
Among Other New Titles SAN FRANCISCO, April 28
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos plc (NASDAQ:EIDSY), one of the
world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment
software, today announces four of its key titles to be unveiled at
this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles,
California on May 18-20, 2005. Eidos games will be featured by
exclusive appointment only. "E3 2005 marks the unveiling of the
latest installments of three of the industry's most successful
franchises in addition to a first glimpse of two of the most iconic
characters, Lara Croft and Agent 47," said Paul Baldwin, Vice
President of Marketing, Eidos. "The Tomb Raider, Hitman and
Commandos franchises make highly anticipated returns featuring new
engines and dramatically enhanced gameplay features. Additionally,
Eidos will be presenting 25 To Life the first to market urban
shooter featuring timeless Cops and Robbers gameplay." Lara Croft
Tomb Raider: Legend Video gaming's leading lady returns backed by
an all new developer, engine, look and gameplay. Lara Croft Tomb
Raider: Legend is grounded in the series' tomb raiding roots and
built to challenge even the most accomplished serial adventurer.
Eidos and Crystal Dynamics shaped Lara's look and movements to be
an inherent extension of her skills, motivation and personality. An
arsenal of modern equipment, such as a magnetic grappling device,
binoculars, frag grenades, personal lighting device and
communications equipment, allows gamers to experience tomb raiding
as never before. New character animations and controls allow her to
move through stunning environments with grace and precision, while
an understanding of the game's original appeal reinvigorates the
fundamental explore-and-solve adventure experience. Tomb Raider:
Legend is slated for release on the PlayStation(R)2 computer
entertainment system, Windows PC and the Xbox(R) video game system
from Microsoft. Hitman: Blood Money The world's deadliest assassin,
Agent 47, is back and this time he's paid in cold, hard cash. How
the money is spent will affect his passage through the game and the
weapons at his disposal, resulting in a unique gameplay experience
for each player. In Hitman: Blood Money, Agent 47 finds himself in
the midst of a war between two rival contract agencies. When
assassins from his contract agency, the ICA, are systematically
eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger, more powerful
agency has entered the fray. Suddenly, Agent 47 loses contact with
the ICA. Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels to
America where he attempts to carry on with business as usual.
Powered by a new version of IO-Interactive's stunning Glacier
engine, Hitman: Blood Money will deliver the most brutal and
realistic simulation of the life of a merciless assassin. The game
will be available on the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment
system, Windows PC and the Xbox(R) video game system from
Microsoft. 25 To Life 25 To Life is an urban action third person
shooter and the first true cops and robbers game to hit the market.
Players choose their side and delve into intense online gameplay
for up to 16 players, as well as a rich single player experience.
Witness the gritty lifestyles of police task forces or strive to
survive as a criminal fighting your way out of the streets. Players
can fully customize their own law enforcement or criminal
characters with the latest gear and take them online to battle for
their turf in an array of different play modes. Urban youth culture
veteran, P. Frank Williams lends his talents to 25 To Life with his
involvement in writing not only the game's deep single player
story, but also all in-game dialogue. As an internationally
recognized journalist, TV producer, author and commentator, P.
Frank Williams brings a level of legitimacy to 25 To Life that is
essential for an authentic urban experience. The game will be
available for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system,
the Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft and the Windows PC.
Commandos Strike Force In a new direction for the multi-million
selling series, Commandos Strike Force takes you right into the
heart of the action from a first person perspective. Gamers will
take control of the three members of the Strike Force unit, each
with their own play style. Switch between the Green Beret, always
at the heart of the action with his expertise in combat and the use
of heavy weaponry; the Sniper with his nerves of steel and expert
marksmanship; and the Spy, stealthily striking at the heart of the
enemy. However, it is your choice how you execute plans of attack
by using the Commandos' unique skills. Set in war torn Europe amid
the backdrop of World War II, you must take your highly trained
group on a series of daring missions, deep behind enemy lines in
France, Norway and Russia. Taking control of a Nazi-occupied town,
freeing French Resistance prisoners and kidnapping a general are a
few of the large range of missions. In addition to a compelling
single player campaign, the game features a variety of online
multiplayer modes. Contact Information: Eidos, Inc (North America)
