The game's official webpage reveals a change of release date...

If you were one of those people anxiously awaiting an all-new Tomb Raider, I have some bad news for you. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, which was expected to ship sometime in late spring / early summer, has now quietly slipped back into a "early Q4 2003" release for the PlayStation 2 and PC. Basically that means you won't see it until the fall of this year. Interestingly, many retailers still have ship dates of June, but I'm sure they'll be changing that soon enough.

You may recall that AoD was originally planned for a November 2002 release, was moved to February 2003, and then delayed until April. I guess this latest delay shouldn't be that surprising then. After all these postponements, when the game finally does release, we can only hope good use of the time was made to create a highly polished title.

AoD is supposed to reinvent the Tomb Raider series with a "new Lara" that has a "new attitude." This time around, there will even be some RPG aspects if you want to call them that. Lara will be able to improve her abilities depending on how you play the game. As you solve puzzles and explore, you'll be rewarded in the form of improvements to Lara's strength, stamina and agility. Another interesting aspect is that for the very first time in a Tomb Raider game, Lara has the ability to talk to characters. The choices you make in conversation will affect Lara's route through the game, possibly adding some replay value.
