Rise of the Tomb Raider
Welcome to your hub for everything Rise of the Tomb Raider. From concept art to screenshots, trailers to cosplay, you'll find it all here. Coming holiday 2015 to Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles first, the long awaited follow up to the smash hit Tomb Raider (2013) is set to be the most ambitious game yet for developer Crystal Dynamics.
Rise of the Tomb Raider was first announced at E3 2014, just one day after two Tomb Raider related names were registered by Square Enix. In an unusual setting for a Tomb Raider game, a rather agitated Lara Croft was seen sitting in a therapist lounge whilst her psychiatrist was talking to her about her mental health which suffered due to the events in the last game. Quick shots of Lara in a cold environment (later revealed to be Siberia, Russia) showed our heroine exploring caves in mountain peeks and running away from a grizzly bear.

Two months after the trailer was released, Square Enix studio head Darrell Gallagher announced at Gamescom on August 12th 2014 that Rise of the Tomb Raider would be exclusive to Xbox in Holiday 2015. A large uproar commenced and several petitions to rethink the decision made by Square Enix to make Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusive to Xbox broke out. The following day Microsoft head Phil Spencer announced that the game is a timed exclusive, meaning that it's exclusivity deal with Microsoft has a duration. When the title will be eligible for release on other platforms is unclear, but for now, Microsoft is set to publish the game in Holiday 2015 exclusive to Xbox.
Official press release:
REDWOOD CITY, CA (June, 9 2014) – Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio, today announced its latest title in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Tomb Raider® series, Rise of the Tomb Raider ® . The game will redefine survival action in Holiday 2015.
In her first adventure, Lara Croft® was forged into a true survivor, but she glimpsed a deeper, secret world. In the next chapter of her journey, Lara must use her survival skills and wits, learn to trust new friends, and ultimately accept her destiny as the Tomb Raider.
“With the power of the new generation, and our proprietary Foundation engine, our high octane action moments will be even more epic. Multiple locations around the world will be filled with exploration spaces that are some of the most beautifully hostile places on earth and over three times larger than we could achieve before,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios at Square Enix. “Our digital actors will rival CG quality, and after hearing the cry from our fans loud and clear, we will put the tombs back into Tomb Raider, all in our gritty Survival-Action style.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider builds upon the formula that made Tomb Raider a success, and features the return of Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft. Camilla will take character performance to new heights as Lara pushes herself beyond human limits and is confronted with what it means to become a hero. Once again, Crystal Dynamics is proud to have the award-winning author Rhianna Pratchett as a key member of the writing team, helping craft a story that delves into Lara’s inner turmoil and motivations in this critical second act of her journey.
