News: Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have revealed when PC gamers will be able to join Lara on her newest adventure.

Rise of the Tomb Raider released on Xbox One approximately two months ago and was one of the best games of 2015. Square Enix has revealed that PC gamers will be able to get in the action soon and experience Lara’s newest adventure. Beginning on January 28, 2016, Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available for Windows 10 and on Steam.

Bringing the game’s thrilling narrative and perilous environments to PC in stunning new detail, developers Crystal Dynamics and Nixxes Software added numerous features, including Windows 10 support and 4K resolution. Rise of the Tomb Raider was nominated for Best Action/Adventure for The Game Awards and follows the critically acclaimed, award-winning Tomb Raider.

“The PC release of Rise of the Tomb Raider continues the positive momentum from our highly successful partnership and collaboration with Microsoft for the launch on Xbox One and Xbox 360,” said Scot Amos co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics.

“PC players are a passionate, devoted audience and we know they’ll embrace the version created for their systems,” said Ron Rosenberg, co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics.

After uncovering an ancient mystery, Lara must explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organization known as Trinity. Lara must use her wits and survival skills, form new alliances, and ultimately embrace her destiny as the Tomb Raider. Experience high-octane action moments, conquer beautifully hostile environments, engage in brutal guerilla combat, and explore awe-inspiring deadly tombs in the evolution of survival action. In “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first Tomb Raiding expedition.

The PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available as a digital download via Steam, the Windows Store, Amazon, the Square Enix e-store and other major retailers – both in-store and online. Standard edition pricing is $59.99. The Digital Deluxe edition is $89.99 and includes a Season Pass to nearly all current and future DLC.
