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.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Development of "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" began in 2015. Unlike the previous entries in the "Tomb Raider" reboot series which were primarily developed by Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montréal assumed major development duties for "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" while Crystal Dynamics provided additional development. While the studio had acted in a support role on the previous entries in the rebooted "Tomb Raider" series, this time Crystal Dynamics transferred into a support role. Due to this transition, the staff at both Eidos Montréal and Crystal Dynamics needed to adjust, with the Eidos Montréal undergoing "growing pains" while moving from a supporting to a leading development role. Similar to their work on the "Deus Ex" series and "Thief", Eidos Montréal first gained a deep understanding of the series' basic elements, then set about building the game using both previous entries and their own design philosophies.
