'''Tomb Raider Legend''' is the official title of '''Tomb Raider 7'''. It has been released on April 7th (Europe) and April 11th (North America) [[2006]].

This time it's [[Crystal Dynamics]] who are making the game. After the Tomb Raider 6 fiasco [[Eidos]] felt that it was time to make a few changes. The game was taken from Core Design and given to Crystal Dynamics. They took charge to help bring Lara back to her roots. And [[Toby Gard]] is also back working with Lara.
