Publisher Eidos has announced that Lara Croft's next crypt-exploring adventure, Tomb Raider: Underworld, will arrive on November 18 in North America, with a European release following on November 21.

Developed by Tomb Raider: Legend and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver veterans Crystal Dynamics, Underworld is slated to hit PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS.

Lara Croft returns later this year in Tomb Raider: Underworld (PC, PS2, PS3, X360, Wii, DS, PSP). A few new screenshots have been released featuring Lara in a wetsuit.

Eidos has revealed a first look at the latest installment in Lara Croft's ongoing tomb-raidin' adventures with new screenshots of Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Underworld (PC, PS2, PS3, X360, Wii).

Tomb Raider: Underworld's plot is planned to directly follow the events of Tomb Raider: Legend, released in 2006. Underworld is said to feature a variety of new graphical touches and motion-captured animations.

Eidos parent company SCi announced earlier this month that four of its titles—including Tomb Raider: Underworld—would be shifted to a late 2008 release to boost the company's bottom line during the holiday rush.

As suggested by a recent trademark listing, Eidos subsidiary Crystal Dynamics is currently working on the eighth outing of busty Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft.

Slated to arrive on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at some point in 2008, the game was unveiled in the latest issue of gaming magazine Play. The official title of the game, however, was not revealed, though that trademark listing indicates it may be subtitled "Underworld."

According to the magazine, Lara Croft's latest adventure takes place after the events of Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Legend (PC, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, GCN, NDS, PSP, GBA). It is also said to feature all sorts of new graphical touches, such as footprints in the mud that slowly wash away and motion-captured animations.
