Rise of the Tomb Raider is exclusive to Xbox platforms

At Gamescom, Microsoft and Square Enix announced that the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider, the sequel to the recent Tomb Raider reboot, will be exclusive to Xbox platforms.

Crystal Dynamics Head of Product Development Darrell Gallagher took to the Xbox stage to detail the news.

“Today’s announcement with Microsoft is one step to help us put Tomb Raider on top of action adventure gaming,” Gallagher said via Tumblr. “Our friends at Microsoft have always seen huge potential in Tomb Raider and have believed in our vision since our first unveil with them on their stage at E3 2011.

“This doesn’t mean that we’re walking away from our fans who only play on PlayStation or on PC. Those are great systems, with great partners, and amazing communities. We have Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris coming to those platforms this December, and Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition is available on PS4,” he added.

Rise of the Tomb Raider launches in holiday 2015 on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
