HEARTLESS

Crystal Dynamics plans to support everyone’s favorite tomb raider beyond the upcoming release of the downloadable LARA CROFT AND THE GUARDIAN OF LIGHT in the form of five DLC packs.

All of the packs will be released by the end of the year, and be downloadable for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game. As for the packs themselves, the first three will include new puzzles, “exploration and combat experiences,” and new explorable areas, and the last two will introduce new skins of “some other well-known videogame characters.”

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light releases on 360 August 18 as part of the Xbox Live Arcade’s Summer of Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points, and will receive an update on September 28, when the game hits PlayStation Network and Steam, that will add two-player online co-op, leaderboard support, and voice chat.

No word yet on the pricing or exact release date for the DLC packs.
