Fallout 4 og Rise of the Tomb Raider er sat til at udkomme på samme dag, nemlig d. 10 november i USA (mens vi i Europa må vente på Laras nye eventyr indtil d. 13). Der vil derfor være kamp til stregen, når et kommer til salgstallene for de to spil på udgivelsesdagen, men Microsofts marketing manager Aaron greenberg fortæller i en podcast, at han ikke er bekymret, og at der faktisk ikke var det store valg, hvad angik udgivelsesdatoen:
"The challenge with Tomb Raider is if you go a week later you're against Star Wars Battlefront, if you go a week earlier you'll be against Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and if you go two weeks earlier you're against Halo. And then you go late and then you're like well, the consumer doesn't have any money left to buy the game so there wasn't a better scenario for us except that was the week it was not going head to head against Call of Duty or Star Wars Battlefront. We felt like the Fallout audience-they are not direct competitors per se, but you are right, it's two big, big titles launching at the same time and we hope people will buy both."
Microsoft er også overbeviste om, at spillet vil klare sig godt, siden det er et godt spil, og Greenberg fortsætter:
"And once you know then would you rather launch against Call of Duty, Star Wars or Fallout? So you just got to launch and stick with the date and feel confident that the game still stand up and we believe it will. It's a fantastic title."
Gamereactor fik i sidste måned mulighed for at prøve den kommende Tomb Raider-titel, og du kan læse vores umiddelbare indtryk af spillet her.
Tak til Neogaf.
