Rumor Mill: A Rise Of The Tomb Raider PS4 Release Window Announced?

Rise Of The Tomb Raider

A new rumor has been cropped up around Rise Of The Tomb Raider from the guys over at The Know placing Rise Of The Tomb Raider’s PS4 launch in late 2016

Nothing gets the morning juices flowing like a good old fashioned rumor and this one here is for Rise Of The Tomb Raider. This time it is all over the release date for the game. No, not the already announced release date of November 10^th that Crystal Dynamics is aiming to hit for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of the game but about when we might be seeing Rise Of The Tomb Raider on the PS4. I’m also guessing that this would also cover the PS3 version of the game as I am sure that Square Enix wouldn’t want to miss out on the funds and whole other platform to market too. We all want Rise Of The Tomb Raider no matter the platform right?

Time for that taste of salt with the new rumor as this all comes from a “trusted” source of the The Know. They claim their source has a document stating that Rise Of The Tomb Raider will be hitting the PlayStation platform around November 2016 which would place it about a year after the Xbox version. Not only that but Rise Of The Tomb Raider will be published by Square Enix for the platform, that makes sense, and be offered up at a reduced price to settle all of the PlayStation gamers down. That price point being $40 USD instead of the normal $60 USD we would normally expect for an AAA title like Rise Of The Tomb Raider.

We have all known for a while that Crystal Dynamics wasn’t going to be keeping Rise Of The Tomb Raider as an Xbox exclusive forever so that does lend a bit of proof to the rumor but it does seem odd that Square Enix wouldn’t try and charge the same price to recoup their own loss of funds to get it ported on over. I mean if they are publishing and paying for the team to do the work they are going to want their return somehow. That is all in the case that Rise Of The Tomb Raider doesn’t flop, unlikely, on the Xbox platform within that year. About the only thing that makes sense in all of this is the fact that the game will be about a year behind on the other platforms as that seems the norm in all of these cases.

None the less you can see all the ins and outs about this Rise Of The Tomb Raider rumor just below and decide for yourself. I wouldn’t place any hard bets on it yet as there is still time to delay the Xbox version of Rise Of The Tomb Raider for “polish” between now and November 10^th; this of course would delay any porting as well. If nothing else it is refreshing to hear that everyone will get to play Rise Of The Tomb Raider at some point. If there are any further developments on this we will of course be updating the site so keep it locked in here.
