Piggyback, the foremost publisher of official game guides, today announces it
will publish the definitive companion to Eidos Interactive’s hotly-anticipated Lara
Croft Tomb Raider: Legend, for PlayStation® 2, Xbox®, Xbox 360™, PC and PSP™. The
guide will be rolled out simultaneously with the game across PAL, US and Asian territories.
The book will appear in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian languages in
Europe at an RRP of Euro 14.99 / £10.99 with the US guide shipping at $16.99.
Benefiting from a vast offering of official and exclusive artwork, the guide
was developed at Piggyback in conjunction with Crystal Dynamics, the US developer
and part of the Eidos group, over a six month period. With direct input from the
development team, the book outlines the precise location of all rewards, a complete
overview of all unlockables and the most extensive Behind The Scenes section ever
written for a game’s guide. The guide will offer over 200 pages with more than 25%
dedicated to ‘Extras’ alone.
Louie Beatty, Managing Director of Piggyback, commented: “Lara Croft and the
Tomb Raider series are household names and Crystal Dynamics has done an incredible
job in creating Tomb Raider: Legend. Putting together the official guide worthy
of the first lady of adventure’s best game to date has been a challenge worthy of
Lara herself, but the results have been worth it”.
“Anticipation for the Tomb Raider: Legend game has been amazing,” said Janet
Swallow, Licensing Director at Eidos Interactive. “Piggyback has a reputation for
producing outstanding guides. For the official guide for Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Legend, fans will be expecting the best and Piggyback hasn’t disappointed”.
