In a post on Tomb Raider Forums, Game Director on Rise of the Tomb Raider Brian Horton has claimed that both Microsoft and Square Enix are “very happy with Rise and the dev team”.
In other posts, Horton points to the positive critical reception for Rise of the Tomb Raider (including several award nominations) and the delivery of the game on schedule as the metrics used to make that claim, notably steering well clear of sales figures.
