Unlike the console versions, which are being published by Eidos Interactive, the rights to publish the mobile iteration of Tomb Raider: Underworld sits solely with EA Mobile. EA signed an agreement with Eidos giving it the right to publish Underworld, alongside mobile versions ofJust Cause 2California Games X, and Minesweeper.
