Even though Tomb Raider Underworld isn't due for release in November Xbox 360 owners can look forward to some more Lara Croft action in the following months with two brand new downloadable chapters, adding approximately 6 hours of gameplay.

The new chapters offer entirely new content specifically designed to extend the Tomb Raider: Underworld experience.

Beneath the Ashes and Tomb Raider: Underworld – Lara’s Shadow will deliver two very different single player gameplay experiences. Tomb Raider: Underworld – Beneath the Ashes takes place after the Underworld story has finished and will feature a new environment to explore, additional secrets to unlock and different enemies to fight. Tomb Raider: Underworld - Lara’s Shadow will introduce players to a new kind of playable character and create a unique Tomb Raider experience.

The first new chapter, Tomb Raider: Underworld – Beneath the Ashes, will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this Christmas. Tomb Raider: Underworld – Lara’s Shadow will follow in early 2009.

                                                                                  

With development led by Crystal Dynamics, developers of the recent Tomb Raider blockbusters, Tomb Raider: Underworld is said to represent a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay.
