this is pretty much known by now. anybody can tell this is a timed exclusive.

Yes. We knew it was a timed exclusive but we didn't know whether the game would end up on PS4 or just the PC.

With Square Enix's confirmation and "but it's shh at the moment" and Microsoft's lack of a clear announcement like "Rise of the Tomb Raider will never come to other consoles" I really think that the game will come to PS4. Maybe even early 2016?

square said it before though. people just didnt wanna believe it.

Does the exclusive to Xbox have a duration? Is it timed? How long is the duration? Can we expect a PlayStation 4 or PC release in the future?

Yes, our deal with Microsoft has a duration. We aren’t discussing details of the deal, and are focused on delivering a great game on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

this was four months ago.....

Okay. I only remembered Phil Spencer saying that the exclusivity on Xbox One had a duration implying that Xbox 360 might be the only other platform to receive the game.

Gameinformer's updated article is from December 9th 2014 so I thought it would bring new details..

I think the PS fan meltdowns will be even bigger if it gets announced for PC and not for PS4.

fanboy wars?

xD The jaundiced eye sees all things yellow.

Could it be because I really liked Tomb Raider (2013) and feel that I can't justify buying an XB1 just to be able to play the sequel? Currently I haven't even time to game on my other platforms. I hope this game ends up on PS4.. I don't know why that necessarily makes me a fanboy. :S
