ISLE OF MAN – To mark the 15th anniversary of a longstanding partnership with Square Enix for the Lara Croft® brand, Microgaming has renewed its agreement to produce a third branded online slot game.

The exclusive agreement builds on the industry’s longest-running branded relationship, which was penned 15 years ago when Microgaming launched the industry’s first ever licensed branded slot game with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider™ in 2004.

Following the immense success and popularity of that industry-first collaboration, Microgaming developed a sequel in 2008, Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword™, which sent players on an exhilarating slot escapade to track down fragments of a legendary sword.

Marked for release this year, the new game will once again feature the fearless heroine, ready to lead players on a new quest unearthing ancient trails and rewarding discoveries. The branded slot is being developed by Triple Edge Studios, an independent studio that is providing innovative, high-quality content exclusively for Microgaming.
