Tomb raider underworld screens

Eidos have been busy over the weekend, releasing the official Tomb Raider: Underworld website along with a couple of new screenshots.

A description of the plot of the new game has been released on the site:

"For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Legend holds that Thor’s hammer had the power to smash mountains into valleys and to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth ... until now.

In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization."

The official site hosts a selection of news, screenshots and podcasts from Crystal dynamics who are making the game.

Eidos also confirmed that Tomb Raider: Underworld is set to launch this November on Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, DS, Wii and PC.
