Mobile games are a dime a dozen, but when a huge studio tosses one out featuring one of their top-tier characters, people take notice. Square Enix announced today that Lara Croft GO –– the follow-up to Square Enix Montreal’s critically acclaimed Hitman GO mobile game — will launch simultaneously on the App Store, Google Play, as well as for Windows Phone and Windows Store on August 27.
“GO is a celebration of our iconic franchises,” said Patrick Naud, Head of Studio at Square Enix Montréal. “With Hitman GO, we’ve distilled a brand we love to its core… the Essence of Assassination.”
“Now, we are bringing this concept to a whole new level. Working in close partnership with Crystal Dynamics, we are excited to tap into the nostalgic love we have for the ultimate female adventurer, Lara Croft, and bring you… the Essence of Adventure!”
Lara Croft GO expands the turn-based puzzle gameplay and takes you on an adventure set in a long-forgotten world. Explore the ruins of an ancient civilization, discover hidden secrets and face deadly challenges as you uncover the myth of the Queen of Venom.
The puzzle game featuring the classic character will be available for $4.99.
