Crystal Dynamics did a grand job with bringing Lara Croft back to the forefront of gaming with Tomb Raider, and it looks as if the studio’s next installment will be even better – at least from what we’ve seen so far.

One of the few let-downs with Tomb Raider was its tacked on multiplayer which just didn’t feel like it belonged next to the great campaign that the game offered. Sure some people found joy in it, but for most it was a one-time-only deal that just didn’t stick.

Thankfully, then, it looks like Crystal Dynamics has heard its fan base loud and clear and has cut multiplayer from Rise of the Tomb Raider to maintain the focus on the single-player campaign, as revealed in Official Xbox Magazine.

Is it a bad thing that the multiplayer has been ditched? Not really, but it will put it at a disadvantage with the tired and pointless debate of Uncharted 4 v Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will release this November 10th in North America and November 13th for UK and Europeans and will be available on Xbox One and Xbox 360. PS4 and PC players will be able to get their hands on Lara in the backend of 2016.

Happy to see that Rise of the Tomb Raider will be a single-player only game, or were you one of the 17 people that enjoyed Tomb Raider’s multiplayer?

Heard the multiplayer of the Tomb Raider reboot was pretty uninspired and unpopular anyway.

I'm more likely to buy it then at some point. It would take alot of manpower to do it, and maybe taken away from the main game.

That's possibly the best piece of news I've heard for this game. Hopefully it will translate to all resources being pumped into the sp and awesome puzzle sections in tombs.

Glad they're picking just Single Player and focusing on and perfecting that. Not often devs focus on SP because everybody and their uncle needs to play with other people.

Wish more games would choose single player story over multiplayer.

Didn't really like the previous game so I never played the multiplayer. It can be a good thing to improve the quality of the campaign (which is a necessity IMO).

But a good multiplayer could be cool too. I did the TLOU SP only once at release, but am still spending hours on the great multiplayer. It can be a good additional value for the players if done correctly.

Good new for me ! i hate all these game who try put multi in single players game there is enough multi players game already.

Great news

Good move.
