Lara Croft comes to the Game Boy Color

Activision has announced that it will release Tomb Raider: Curse of the Shadow for the Game Boy Color on June 25. The game will take Lara Croft through levels based on the rooftops of New York City to the swamplands of New Orleans. The gameplay will involve both action and puzzle elements.

"Tomb Raider is undeniably one of the hottest properties in interactive entertainment today," said Kathy Vrabeck, executive vice president, Activision Global Publishing and Brand Management. "As the leading third-party publisher of Game Boy Color titles we're thrilled to bring Lara's latest adventure to the handheld video game system."

Naturally, the franchise was licensed from Eidos Interactive, which said that Tomb Raider: Curse of the Shadow taps into a new market for the franchise.
