**Eidos PLC – Trading      Statement**

 27 June 2003  EIDOS PLC: TRADINGUPDATE

US launch of Tomb Raider: The    Angel of Darkness (PS2)

Eidos plc (LSE:EID.L, NASDAQ:EIDSY),    one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software,    today confirms that Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness successfully launched    in the US on PS2 on 20th June. Initial feedback from retailers and consumers    has been positive with shipments to date in line with management’s expectations.

US and European launch of Tomb    Raider: The Angel of Darkness (PC)

The PC game version for the    US and European markets will launch during week commencing 30th June.

European launch of Tomb Raider:    The Angel of Darkness (PS2)

The Company is currently in    the final stages of approval for the multi-language versions of the European    PS2 game. As the Company’s financial year end is 30th June, it    is now apparent that whilst some units may ship within the current financial    year, up to one million units may ship in July – the first month of    the next financial year. This has led the Board to significantly reduce its    expectations for profit before tax for the financial year ending 30th June    2003.

The release delay is not expected    to impact the overall estimated sales for the title. The Board believes that    the Company will meet, in aggregate, market expectations for the financial    years ending 30th June 2003 and 2004.

The Company continues to enjoy    a strong cash position with net cash balances of over £40 million.

The game will benefit from the    launch of the Tomb Raider film sequel, “The Cradle of Life”, scheduled    for release by Paramount Pictures on 25th July in the US and on 22nd August    in Europe.

US launch of Italian Job

Eidos also confirms that it    successfully launched, ahead of schedule, its Italian Job game in the US    on 24th June to tie in with the recently released new Italian Job film in    the US and maximise that game’s commercial potential. The game has initially    been published on PS2 and Xbox with early shipments again in line with management’s    expectations.

Further announcements

Eidos intends to announce preliminary    results for the year to 30th June 2003 on 4th September but will provide    a further trading statement as soon as is practicable in order to keep shareholders    fully informed of the expected outcome for the current financial year.
