Completely remade after 20 years, the new Tomb Raider game features an anime-inspired super-heroine Lara Croft with a body that looks considerably less Jessica Rabbit-esque than the first incarnation.  The app and desktop experience are designed to engage fans on multiple levels and offer an exciting look into the making of the highly anticipated game.  The game is available now for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Windows.

The Haneke Design team – responsible for the desktop version of The Final Hours of Tomb Raider – mirrored the features and functionality present in the mobile version for a consistent experience on all screens. The tablet apps were produced by Joe Zeff Design, which used Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to develop both.

To experience the app, download it to your desktop for $2.99 here.
