News Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Still Holed Up in Croft Manor
Lara, where are yer?
You know the story by now: Microsoft paid to delay Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year on the PlayStation 4, with the action adventure due out on Sony's system in late 2016.

News Could Rise of the Tomb Raider Plunder PS4 Earlier Than Expected?
PC launch due in January
It seems that Rise of the Tomb Raider will launch on the PC in January, perhaps saving the game's sales blushes after a disastrous Xbox exclusive release.
