Tomb Raider (2013 video game)
"Tomb Raider" was released as scheduled on 5 March 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. However, it was released early in Australia, being available on 1 March 2013. On 25 April 2013, "Tomb Raider" was released in Japan. A ported version of the 2013 game to the Mac OS X was released by Feral Interactive on 23 January 2014. "Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition", an updated version, was released in North America on 28 January 2014, in Australia on 30 January 2014, and in Europe on 31 January 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One containing all features and DLC. Unlike the previous installments that received a T rating, "Tomb Raider" is the first game in the series to receive an M rating by the ESRB, due to blood and gore, intense violence and strong language.
Toby Gard
Gard left Core Design in 1997. With "Tomb Raider" already an established hit, Core was no longer giving Gard the creative freedom he originally had. In the end he was given the choice of making a "Tomb Raider" port for the Nintendo 64, or working on Core's vision for "Tomb Raider II". Neither option appealed to him, so he left the company. Gard had been headhunted by other software companies including Interplay and Shiny Entertainment (which prematurely announced that it had hired Gard) but did not take up their offers of employment.
