   Eidos have finally dropped the "no comment" act today, as they confessed their plans to release Tomb Raider: Anniversary on the Xbox 360 later this year. This goes to confirm earlier rumours sparked by an unexpected ESRB listing clearly showing five different TRA titles for the Xbox 360, and implying that Lara Croft's latest adventure was being reworked in an episodic format for Microsoft's console. Which also turns out to be true!

   The Xbox 360 version will comprise four episodes, split in two sets. The first one - containing Episode 1 & 2 - should be released via Xbox Live in September, with the next two episodes set to follow "shortly afterwards". Just how shortly, we don't know yet, but Eidos did say that they also plan to release a full retail version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary for the Xbox 360 before the end of 2007.

   Regardless of which set of episodes they buy, players will be able to download the Croft Manor level free of charge, and the total price for all four episodes - Peru, Lost City, Greece and Egypt - will be 2400 Microsoft points ($30 / €28.8 for the whole thing). However, there's a catch... In order to access the TRA downloadable content for Xbox 360, players will require a Tomb Raider Legend disc!

   Later on, Eidos plans to offer fans even more content on the Xbox Live Marketplace, such as picture packs and theme packs featuring the voluptuous Lara - arguably the world's greatest action heroine.
