Lara Croft goes download only for The Guardian of Light.
 
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.
