Like I said, we have nothing but speculation regarding RotTR when it was announced, but all the signs point to it being multiplatform. Not under "blockbuster exclusives" on the Xbox site, but instead, coupled with multiplatform games. No "play it first on Xbox" at the end of the trailer, when they did it for all exclusive games, timed or permanent. Then, it was announced at Gamescom 2014 (not at a Square conference), 2 months after E3, that it was an Xbox exclusive. Proof Then, it was clarified after the fact that the exclusivity "has a duration". Proof Exclusivity doesn't get announced after the fact like that unless either A. a deal was recently made or B. the other platform's version is cancelled. |
It was announced just a bit over their month after their E3 http://press.na.square-enix.com/releases/492/square-enix-annnounces-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-destined-for-windows-10 Forbes said it was announced at Square conference which was wrong my bad.
Also Square said the deal was made based on how MS supported Tomb Raider DE so it would also make sense the deal was made before Phill became head.
