MTV Multiplayer reported this afternoon that gamers could be seeing an all-nude, ultra non-safe-for-work title for Tomb Raider in the near future. Well, at the very least, it'll be M-rated. This is mostly because the economy is taking no prisoners, as 30 of Eidos' former Crystal Dynamic employees can tell anyone.
That's just the current big news on the Internet. What we find interesting is the timing of this article from Games Industry Dot Biz, saying that Eidos' crashing shares recovered a bit in its last round of stock trading. Will Lara Croft's breasts help to buoy Eidos' stock? Only time, and our wallets, will reveal the naked truth.
"Over on tombraiderforums.com, a poster believed to be (but not confirmed as) 'Tomb Raider: Underworld' creative director Eric Lindstrom says future Lara Croft games may go for a 'Mature' rating.
The Teen rating meant we couldn’t do things we wanted to or were done in the past, but it was a publisher mandate at the tmie [sic]. It won’t always necessarily be so, though, the future can always be different."
