Square Enix announces the release of the Windows edition of
Rise of the Tomb
Raider, the latest installment in Crystal Dynamics' action/adventure series.
Here's word on the release and features of the Windows edition that were not
present in its console predecessors:
The PC version, led by Nixxes
Software, will bring stunning visual improvements to Lara Croft®'s continuing
adventures, including 4K resolution, advanced graphics, and new Pure Hair
technology.
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 beats her to it. Faced with the mysterious Remnant
leader Jacob, the constant threats of Trinity's leader Konstantin, and driven by
her Father’s unfinished legacy, Lara must become the Tomb Raider she is destined
to be. To date, Rise of the Tomb Raider has received 64 “Best of” nominations
and won 27 awards; now leads the DICE awards with 9 nominations; and, is one of
the highest rated titles of 2015.
The highly anticipated Windows 10 and Steam releases are enhanced with new
technical features to create an even more immersive experience. By partnering
with NVIDIA, Rise of the Tomb Raider will
utilize a very high-end ambient occlusion technique, HBAO+ that reduces
artifacts and produces richer and more detailed ambient lighting. Objects and
buildings are significantly enhanced at farther distances thanks to the
increased geometry processing power in PC. The beautiful yet hostile
environments come alive with new weather effects and dynamic foliage that reacts
to Lara’s movements.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is now available as a digital download via Steam, the
Windows Store,
Amazon™,
the
Square Enix e-store and other major retailers for $59.99.
