A next gen Tomb Raider port could be on the cards

Update: It looks like this could have been an Amazon retail partner listing, not Amazon itself. Sadly, that means the information found in the article could be fake and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Amazon is renowned for outing products before they are supposed to be announced and today is no different as the retailer's Italian site just listed Tomb Raider: The definitive edition.

The Amazon listing has been taken down but fortunately, the print screen key exists:

The first listing suggested a PS4 release on the 24th of January while a second listing (also taken down) just refers to next gen consoles. However that latter one didn't name any one console specifically, so while it could mean the Wii U, an Xbox One port would be much more likely.

The definitive edition will include all DLC just like any GOTY edition but Tomb Raider's DLC didn't add any story content so this re-release may not hold much value to you if you just play for the story. An art book will also be included for Amazon pre-orderers.

Tomb Raider came out for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in March this year and while the game sold over a million copies, Square Enix branded it as a sales flop. A Tomb Raider sequel is also in the works for the next generation although we don't know anything about the sequel yet.

Kitguru Says: Considering the lack of additional story content, I'm not sure how many people will buy this. However, I am excited about the sequel. Did you guys enjoy the Tomb Raider reboot?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
