Eidos has revealed a number of new titles they plan to release before this Christmas.

First up is Pandemonium, originally released on the Playstation in 1996. The platforming game stars Nikki, a student wizard, and Fargus, a slightly demented jester and acrobat. Together with a number of other characters, the two will have to make it through 18 3D worlds and a number of challenging boss fights.

Next is Sola Rola, which Edios originally revealed in August. The action/puzzle hybrid is built around the heroes Wiz and Waz, a pair of bloblike alien brothers who are the last hope to save the universe from the evil Ping the Merciless. The game features 25 levels and a soundtrack from The Maniacs of Noise. Also featured is a custom graphics engine that allows any object on the screen to be freely scaled and rotated for a number of interesting effects.

Championship Manager 2008 will be released alongside the PC version. Developed by Dynamo Games, CM2008 is a full-featured management sim featuring an easy-to-use interface and 2D match overlay specifically designed for phones.

They’ve also announced a mobile version Kane and Lynch, a co-op action game planned for release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Not much is known about this title yet.

Lastly, Tomb Raider: Anniversary Edition will be hitting phones to celebrate ten years of Lara Croft and her pair of guns. Developed by British company FinBlade, the game takes inspiration from the first 3 mobile Tomb Raider games and will see Lara visiting some new locations.

Eidos has announced the release of a mobile phone version of the classic game Pandemonium.

Originally released in 1997, the platforming game stars Nikki, a student wizard, and Fargus, a slightly demented jester and acrobat. Together with a number of other characters, the two will have to make it through 18 3D worlds and a number of challenging boss fights.

“Pandemonium represents a whole new level of gaming experience on mobile phones,” said Dave Clark, vice president of New Business Development at Eidos “The graphics remain strikingly faithful to the original game on console and, as levels load while you play, gamers will enjoy a seamless gaming experience. This is head and shoulders above what most people imagine when they think of games for the phone.”

The game is available now on BREW-enabled handsets.

Eidos Interactive has announced a plan to release more mobile games alongside console and PC games, reports MobileIndustry.biz

Tomb Raider: Legend, Hitman: Blood Money, and Championship Manager have already seen mobile counterparts, and a mobile game based on Pandemonium is due next month.

IT director Simon Protheroe spoke about the plans:

“We’re supporting our console releases with mobile versions of the games like Tomb Raider and Hitman, whilst also exploring the other mobile opportunities with our IPs. This way we can offer the consumer other ways to access their favourite games and games characters - so if you can’t get enough of your favourite Eidos game on your console, then you can play the mobile version on your way to work.”

Eidos states that they will be expanding their mobile game development team over the next year, and that there are more games still to be announced.
