Crystal Dynamics, a part of Square Enix Europe, have today announced Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, a new game developed by Crystal Dynamics, which will be released via digital download in 2010.

“This is a really exciting project for Crystal Dynamics, we have created something completely new and very different to what people might be expecting,” said Darrell Gallagher, General Manager of Crystal Dynamics. “Lara Croft is such an iconic character in videogames, with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light we have created what we believe is a truly original digital experience.”

While no platforms were specified, you can at least expect it to appear on consoles.

According to Crystal Dynamics‘ Twitter account the company, that now focuses its efforts on the Tomb Raider franchise solely, is “working on TWO projects 😉 This is something totally new and exciting, mwhaha!”

I wonder if they are working on two downloadable games in the Tomb Raider series?
