Rise of the Tomb Raider will launch for PC (Windows 10) via Steam in early 2016 and for PlayStation 4 in holiday 2016, Square Enix announced.

The game will premiere first for Xbox One and Xbox 360 on November 10, this year. The PlayStation 4 version will arrive one year after its initial launch.

not too far away

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Jul 23, 2015

Surprise Surprise.

So it'll be (pulling numbers out of my assumption):

November 10th, 2015 for XB1
February 9th, 2016 on PC
November 15th, 2016 on PS4 alongside XB1's GOTY Edition (lol).

I think they said this a little too early.

BrokenIcarus · Jul 23, 2015

Eh, not a fan of these kind of business decisions.

Peff · Jul 23, 2015

Well, I hope MS got a refund.

Carl · Jul 23, 2015

No thanks.

GAMEPROFF · Jul 23, 2015

Enough time to play Tomb Raider then.

Nyteshade517 · Jul 23, 2015

I, for one, am shocked

no I'm not

statham · Jul 23, 2015

1 year console exclusive. who said 6 months?

MayMay · Jul 23, 2015

I can't see a source on the page, except "Square Enix"..

Regardless, if it's true then fuck yeah. PC release is earlier than expected

Edit: Just got the press-release in my email, so it's legit yay.

hwy_61 · Jul 23, 2015

Full year! Dayum.

kamineko · Jul 23, 2015

Yurikerr · Jul 23, 2015

One year console exclusivity...that's more than what i thought it would be.

Maybe the ps4 version will be the "Game of the year/Definite" one.

That's the only way they can justify having the game coming 1 year later....

Tizoc · Jul 23, 2015

So are people still not going to get this , like they said during it's E3 reveal, because it was exclusive for the X1?

quesalupa · Jul 23, 2015

Damn that's pretty long.

chadskin · Jul 23, 2015

Huh. Will get it on PC then.

Flandy · Jul 23, 2015

For some reason I kept thinking that PC would be the same day as Xbone. Guess I'll might pick up the Xbone version then

Edit: Maybe not. Fallout 4 releases on the same day

peanutbutterlatte · Jul 23, 2015

Lol this kind of shit is so so petty.

FoneBone · Jul 23, 2015

Didn't think they'd announce this before the Xbox versions shipped. Also surprised they managed to wrangle a full year of console exclusivity; I'd have thought it'd be more like 6 months.

Kriken · Jul 23, 2015

Needs a "Shocking News" in the title

Although TBH, I'm a bit surprised they're putting out the Steam version that soon, thought Steam/PS4 would be the same time for some reason

Krusenstern · Jul 23, 2015

THERE it is!

PC version here I come!

kevin1025 · Jul 23, 2015

I'm still going for the Xbox One version, but nice to finally see what the deal is for those that want to play it on PC and PS4.

DNAbro · Jul 23, 2015

shocking. I hope no one was still believing it wasn't coming to ps4.

Kinsella · Jul 23, 2015

Too long to wait. Xbox One version it is.

That was my prediction, and I'll eat that crow :^)

Not sure what's SE plan on releasing PS4 version in Fall 2016, good luck selling it. They should wait till early 2017 if they can't release it earlier.

I'm surprised they're still releasing same day as Fallout 4. I hope they move it by at least a few days.

Primethius · Jul 23, 2015

At least SE manages to avoid UC4 on PS4.

UrbanRats · Jul 23, 2015

Will get the PC version.

Also, there's a good chance the PS4 version will have some sort of extra when it comes out.

RoKKeR · Jul 23, 2015

Further away for the PS4 than I thought, but otherwise to be expected.

Chobel · Jul 23, 2015

Loudninja · Jul 23, 2015

I doubt many people will be interested a year later.

Matush · Jul 23, 2015

I wonder if it's gonna be 60 on PS4. I would only buy it at full price if it has all the DLCs (Complete edition).

ViewtifulJC · Jul 23, 2015

well that would put them 6 months out of the way of Uncharted 4

Derkon · Jul 23, 2015

1 year for PS4? meh, guess I'll have to get it on PC then(if my PC can even handle it)

dmr87 · Jul 23, 2015

IF I play it, it's going to be on the PC. No one will care at the end of 2016.

jacobeid · Jul 23, 2015

As if the game wasn't already being sent to die by releasing the same day as Fallout....

I don't see how SE thought that this strategy would work well for them when they were so unhappy about the first game's (shitload of) sales.

loaf of bread · Jul 23, 2015

I wonder if part of the reason it isn't early 2016 for PS4 is to avoid Uncharted?

I'm going to buy it used so Square don't get any of my money.

R3TRODYCE · Jul 23, 2015

Nice the PC version isn't too far behind.

JamesAR15 · Jul 23, 2015

Guess I will be skipping this one, not gonna wait a year to play this on my platform of choice.

MDSLKTR · Jul 23, 2015

Please use the extra year to have the same frame-rate as Tomb raider DE then

SolidSnakex · Jul 23, 2015

Reminds me of the whole Resident Evil 4 situation where Capcom announced the PS2 version of the game with a timeframe before they even released it on the Gamecube.

WhiskerFrisker · Jul 23, 2015

1 year? Haha it better be released at a discounted price.

Alcoholikaust · Jul 23, 2015

Insane. A year exclusive. Well played MS, well played.

bombshell · Jul 23, 2015

I'll wait and buy the PS4 version in the bargain bin early 2017. Thank yourselves Square Enix.

Ghost Slayer · Jul 23, 2015

SE better include all DLC for PS4 version or sell it with decent price

calder · Jul 23, 2015

I would have guessed 6 months for PS4. Ah well, I'll get it on PC if it's that much earlier.

YianGaruga · Jul 23, 2015

Will pick it up for 20 in early 2017 then!
