^ I remember there was an interview where it was said that Eidos actually gave Core green light to create new projects and TR Anniversary Edition, but it was SCi who decided to sell Core because of the company not having any strong IP during that time.

So basically according to the interview it wasn't that much Eidos' fault rather than SCi who sold Core to cut costs.

Of course, they ignored the fact that they themselves played a huge role in what happened with the franchise in general and with AoD in particular.
Actually I think it was Core Design and their Tomb Raider games that could have saved Eidos Interactive from losses and being acquired but it looks like Eidos Interactive was always more interested in the short run gains than in the long run. Well, both Eidos Interactive and Tomb Raider franchise paid for that already as we can see today from the number of acquisitions, the financial data and the popularity of the franchise, and its ratings in overall, the fans lost a lot because of that too not to mention the harm caused to Core Design and the people who worked there, wasted expertise and so on. I do not think the managerial decisions of Eidos Interactive were that good. If the situation was really that bad at that time the government of the United Kingdom could have also provide some support like subsidise or make tax cuts to prevent the business from going bankrupt, jobs being lost and production moved away out of the country. After all Tomb Raider and Lara Croft had a cultural significance as well.

Anyway, to finish on a positive note, I am very curious to see who is behind the other microphone tomorrow.

Is just me or it a little bit feels like this fantasy angel's voice without lyrics approach could turn out slightly cliché and cheesy? Unless it will be done really well and on a different level from the other games mentioned of course. If it is Peter's choice, I trust it and I hope I will be proven wrong but I kind a expected a little bit different direction and something more unique here.

We don't even know what they'll be using her for. I wouldn't automatically assume that she will be performing on all the tracks. It's entirely possible that it'll just be a few tracks here and there. And even if it's most of them, I'm sure she's capable of creating lots of different sounds with her voice and we don't know how it will be mixed in with the instruments, etc.

You know you don't need lyrics for singing, right ? She'll likely just be singing lots of aaaahhhhhs and ooooohhhhs. This is one of the tracks she did for Horizon Zero Dawn, for example. (Doubt that The Dark Angel will end up having this kind of sound but it's a good example of soundtrack vocals that don't have lyrics.)
