Square Enix has announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider, the next chapter in the venerable action-adventure franchise, will launch on PlayStation 4 in holiday 2016.
The game, a follow-up to Tomb Raider (2013), will remain an Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusive for one year following its debut this November. The game has already been listed for pre-order on various retailers.
"In the critically acclaimed Tomb Raider, Lara Croft survived a harrowing experience only to be discredited as part of a cover up. Now, after uncovering an ancient mystery, Lara must explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organization known as Trinity. Lara must use her wits and survival skills, form new alliances, and ultimately embrace her destiny as the Tomb Raider.
"Experience high-octane action moments, conquer beautifully hostile environments, engage in brutal guerrilla combat, and explore awe-inspiring deadly tombs in the evolution of survival action. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first great Tomb Raiding expedition."
