Xbox boss wants Tomb Raider to be the Xbox One’s Uncharted

4.6
Phil Spencer had admitted that Xbox needs an action-adventure game as good as Sony’s Uncharted franchise, and he hopes that tying up exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider will fill that hole.

Eurogamer asked if the deal was to ensure that Xbox had something to compete with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in 2015: “Totally. I’m a big fan of Uncharted and I wish we had an action adventure game of that ilk,” said Spencer. “We’ve started some, and we’ve looked at them. But we don’t have one today of that quality. This is an opportunity.”

The exact nature of the exclusivity deal was unclear when Microsoft announced it at gamescom last week, but it now seems that Rise of the Tomb Raider will eventually be free to go to other platforms, the Xbox exclusivity lasting for “a duration.” How long that duration is remains unclear.

Polygon Tomb Raider games were born on Playstation.
I hate how Xbox are 'stealing' the game just for an exclusive?


Not really Tomb Raider wasn't exclusive to PS. The games were released on multi platforms up until now.

So stop making up some lie to try and make Xbox look bad.

It's only a exclusive for a few months, then it will be released on other platforms.

I quite enjoy the tomb raiders. It will be kind of hard to compete with Uncharted, though! Good luck!

Miss Uncharted is a great game so I could see why he would want Tomb Raider to be like it. But I can already kind of see the similarities between both of those games. They remind me of one another.


Well it should be Uncharted reminds of you of tomb raider.. TR has been around since forever lol. It started the whole puzzle adventure in uncharted places ect
