Microsoft to publish Rise of the Tomb Raider

Microsoft is no stranger to securing deals with game developer companies for exclusivity of game releases on their newest console, the Xbox One. So, perhaps a new deal with Square Enix’s Crystal Dynamics shouldn’t be seen as a new way for Microsoft to attract lots of consumers to its entertainment device.

In a Twitter post, Aaron Greenberg mentioned Microsoft will be publishing the upcoming Tomb Raider game: “Yes we are publishing Rise of the Tomb Raider.”

Though the launch of Rise of the Tomb Raider would be a timed-exclusive, having it on a specific console for first release has its advantages. The game will make its debut on Holiday 2015.

@diosmekemeke Yes we are publishing Rise of the Tomb Raider.
