Square Enix Announces Rise of the Tomb Raider for Steam, Windows 10, and PlayStation 4

Square Enix today announced its latest title in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Tomb Raider series, Rise of the Tomb Raider, will be available for Steam and Windows 10 PC in early 2016. The game will be a console exclusive to Xbox One and Xbox 360 for one year after its initial launch, coming to PlayStation 4 Holiday 2016. Renowned developer Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio, is leading development in the latest entry in the iconic series for additional platforms.

In the critically acclaimed Tomb Raider, Lara Croft survived a harrowing experience only to be discredited as part of a cover up. Now, after uncovering an ancient mystery, Lara must explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organization known as Trinity. Lara must use her wits and survival skills, form new alliances, and ultimately embrace her destiny as the Tomb Raider.

Experience high-octane action moments, conquer beautifully hostile environments, engage in brutal guerilla combat, and explore awe-inspiring deadly tombs in the evolution of survival action. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first great Tomb Raiding expedition.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is premiering on Xbox One and Xbox 360 first on November 10, 2015.

What a crock of shit. I foolishly didn't think they would be that disruptive...a year! They really must have a deal good enough to make up for the loss of millions of sales in that window. And they better not even try to sell it at full retail price, either.

Wait... What? Pinch me, I must be dreaming.....

*pinches arm several times*

Ok. This is real. I.... I'm speechless! I somehow knew it wouldn't be an exclusive for long. At least us PC people wont have to wait an entire year. As for the PS4 people... I am positive it will be worth the wait!

But why didn't they say this stuff in the first place? it would have saved the fans a lot of headache!

I am overjoyed to hear this news. My worst fears have been put to rest. I may have to wait a little longer than the people who play Xbox, but I can wait. Make no mistake. I WILL buy this for PC!

I think I can officially say that I won't be buying this game. I'd only be able to play it on a PS4, and I'm not waiting a year to play it.

I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who are just relieved that it has been announced for the playstation and PC (wouldn't surprise me actually if that's why Crystal have held back so long to announce it: to make sure people are just relieved rather than angry), but I think it was a no brainer that it would be coming out on other platforms, I never saw Crystal as being that stupid.

The nail in the coffin for me is the length of the deal, sorry but a year is disgusting and I've had it now with future Tomb Raider games when fans are pitted against each other like this and such blatant favourtism is rubbed in our faces.

I'm beyond angry at the entire debacle and Crystal get 100% of my venom for killing off my favourite franchise *slow claps* well done guys, well done!

I said this in another thread but since this thread is directly on the issue:

Seriously? A year for Playstation 4 people but about a month to two months for PC players? I thought console wars were between fans of the consoles, not from the owners of one console. I cannot believe the bullshit that Microsoft has become. Not only is it insulting to fans of the series, owners of Playstation, but Sony as well. You'd think they'd have more respect for themselves as a corporation. There are ways to be corporate competitive, without being juvenile. They should take some guidance from Sony in this regard. Pure and utter shit.

Well, at least you know what you're getting when you get anything from Microsoft from now on: Pettiness, arrogance, greediness, immaturity, lack of respect for both competitors, consumers and customers.

I will never buy another Microsoft product again, if I can help it.

A year for PlayStation is really ridiculous. No kidding, I'm stoked that I'll be able to play Rise in a years time, but a year?? By the time Rise comes out on PS4, there will be other titles that have gained more of my attention. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited for Rise, but I'm pretty sure the latest Mass Effect, Uncharted and Horizon: Zero Dawn will have more of my attention that Rise.
I have an XBOX360, and I'm still contemplating as to whether or not I should get a copy of Rise for it, but I'm going to wait for other reviews about the 360 version before I purchase the game. Who knows how much is cut out of it? Anyways, let's hope Crystal and Square don't land themselves in a contract like this ever again.
