Well, it's not exactly the big news you've all been anticipating, but here's a ray of sunshine for Tomb Raider fans: a new game, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, is slated for release this summer as a digital download.

As the screenshots below suggest, there are hordes of enemies, traps and puzzles galore, and naturally plenty of challenging platforming.
Players who prefer a more traditional raiding experience needn't worry. Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that another Tomb Raider—the next in the series of immersive action-adventure games we've come to know and love—is in development concurrently. Guardian seems to be a smaller side project designed to take the series in some new directions and maybe even draw in fresh fans from other genres. Notice the conspicuous absence of "Tomb Raider" from its title.
It may not be Lara's next big adventure, but Guardian of Light looks like a fun way to fill a few hours while we wait for it.
