Philip Campbell

Philip Campbell (aka. Phil Campbell) was Senior Designer for leading publisher Eidos Interactive (EIDSY) from 1996 to 2000. He created the "Tomb Raider Gold" franchise for the PC platform, selling over 3 million units worldwide. As project leader, Philip created, wrote and designed Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business, Tomb Raider: Golden Mask and Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact. He was also working on creating Tomb Raider 4 Gold, but that project was cancelled.

The critical success and popularity of these titles marked a defining involvement in the growth of the Tomb Raider franchise in the US, as Phil created many diverse and unique aspects of the world of Lara Croft. These included writing personality-defining dialogue for Lara's first web presence, scripting for the first comic book release by Top Cow Comics, collaborating with renowned author Douglas Coupland on Lara's Book, and conceptualizing the release of the TR Editing Tools.
