Rise of the Tomb Raider Coming to PC Early 2016, PS4 Winter 2016

PS4 owners will need to wait a full year to play the game.

Square Enix has announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider will be released on Windows 10 and Steam in early 2016. The game will not be released on PS4 until holiday 2016.

In the game, Lara Croft sets off for the wilds of Siberia to unlock the secrets of immortality, facing the elements, hostile groups determined to stop her including a "secret society which has been lying in wait since the last game", and even bears in the process.

Square Enix and Microsoft have always been somewhat reluctant to discuss the exact nature of their timed exclusivity agreement until now but now we know PlayStation owners will have quite a wait in store to play Lara's next adventure.

Rise of the Tomb Raider launches for Xbox 360 and Xbox One on November 10th. It appears that there are no plans to release the game on PS3.
