'Rise of the Tomb Raider' release date news: Game for PS4 not cancelled; expected in holiday 2016

Action-adventure video game "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is still happening for PlayStation 4. Fans who play with the Sony console have been waiting for the title to arrive in PS4 but until now, it's still nowhere to be found. Fortunately, developer Crystal Dynamics has already spoken, igniting the spark of excitement among fans again.

According to reports, the game will be released on PS4 this year. Contrary to the belief of many, the game has not been cancelled. This has been confirmed by Square Enix after one of the admins of the publisher's forum asked about the game's PS4 status. The game only arrived to the Xbox One platform and it left many fans wondering if it will really make its way to the Sony console.

As for its release date, Square Enix announced that they will be releasing the game sometime in holiday 2016. There was no specific date given but speculations suggest that it could be out by mid-November. This would also mark almost a year after the release of the game in Xbox One. "Rise of the Tomb Raider" arrived in the Microsoft console on Nov. 10 last year.

It has certainly been a long wait for all the PlayStation users and many are asking whether it will still be making an impact on them considering the hiatus they had to endure. The title also went through a competition against "Fallout 4" which was released on the same day. Luckily for the game, it garnered positive feedback from players and critics. And now, the waiting game continues on for PS4 users.

For those who are not in the loop yet, "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is described as a game that features the adventurous journey of classic character Lara Croft. The game will require gamers to go on a quest to find the secret of immortality using Lara's fighting skills and wit.
