"Lara Croft is one of the strongest and most attractive personalities in the video game world", said Alain Corre, Ubi Soft Entertainment's Vice-President for Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. "I have full confidence in our creation teams' ability to produce one of the best action games available for the Game Boy ® Advance".

"With Ubi Soft's expertise in developing successful Game Boy ® Advance games, we are confident that Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Prophecy will maintain the high standards people have come to expect from a Tomb Raider game," said Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos Interactive.

The game will remain faithful to the spirit that has made previous game versions - as well as the movie - a worldwide success. Since the first Tomb Raider game was released in 1996, the series has gone on to sell more than 28 million copies worldwide.
