Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that its upcoming downloadable title, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, will come to PlayStation Network and Steam on September 28 for $14.99. The game will hit Xbox LIVE Arcade as a timed-exclusive for Microsoft's "Summer of Arcade" on August 18 for 1200 MS Points.
Also confirmed will be post-release downloadable content for the game, or what Crystal Dynamics is calling "Downloadable Lara Croft" (or DLC… get it?). This will consist of five downloadable packs coming out from October through December. The first three expansions will feature new puzzles and new areas to explore. The final two packs will consist of new playable characters, including "well-known videogame characters."
"Be prepared for a few surprises," teases Crystal Dynamics general manager Darrell Gallagher.
Any guesses? Kain and Rahziel, please. Thanks.

@flea friend; The Chaos Engine FTW. Brings back memories!
And i totally agree that it's tail time
This game has pretty much the perfect marketing, and some people still hate it. It's a full game (yeah, you now doubt it. but we'll know when it comes out) for 15$. Plus, optionally you can buy new challenges and characters. Only 5 DLCs. Maybe, some will have only characters. maybe they'll release 3 challenges and two characters. If they do, i doubt that characters will be for 5$. 1 or 2 is most likely.
Look at the Just Cause 2 DLC list. Do you feel like if you buy Just Cause 2 you will not have a "full game" because you don't have several optional cars or guns? And if you will, will you not buy what you want for 1 buck each?
But i think digital distribution has to do some "we give you this and then release some DLC which will be free or paid depending on the content you get and the work we had to do" if it doesn't feel like a cheap way of beating money out of gamers. With that said - when the game and DLC do come out, i may be proven wrong if DLC will feel "vital" for the main game.
