Today is surely a nice day to live for all "Rise of the Tomb Raider" fans out there! Developer Crystal Dynamics has just confirmed the upcoming arrival of the title to PS4. The feasible release window is sometime this year during the holiday season.
"Rise of the Tomb Raider" was first launched late last year. The game only arrived to the Xbox One platform, since console owner Microsoft and game publisher Square Enix have a time exclusivity deal. Later on, in early 2016, it was introduced to PC with PS4 being the only platform left without the game. Nonetheless, the studio iterated its plans to release the title to the PlayStation 4, though no exact date was given.
As the time passed, more and more PS4 owners began to lose hope, since it had almost been a year and "Rise of the Tomb Raider" has yet to be released. However, it seems the wait is finally over. Developer Crystal Dynamics revealed that the game is still alive and kicking for the PlayStation 4 console.
One of the admins from Square Enix's forum went to ask the devs behind "Rise of the Tomb Raider" regarding the game's PS4 status quo. To the surprise of many, the California-based video game company confirmed that the game is slated for a Holiday 2016 release!
Yes, that is right, "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is coming to PS4 sometime later this year. Although the studio did not give a specific release date, it is believed to be released in mid-November, possibly on the 8th or 15th, as reported by PlayStationLifeStyle. If this is a fact, it will almost be a year since the game's release in Xbox One.
It should be noted, though, that "Rise of the Tomb Raider" developer Crystal Dynamics has already informed the public about the coming of the game. The only catch, however, is that they have remained mum about the situation, most especially with the game's PS4 release date. As a result, it has created speculations that the title is not really going to arrive.
Despite all the negative rumors though, "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is coming! PS4 fans, enjoy!
