Crystal
Dynamics have confirmed Tomb Raider, the latest
adventure starring Lara Croft, has reached 'alpha
status'. This means the game is now complete and
a rigorous stretch of bug testing will commence
before the scheduled Fall 2012 release.
Tomb
Raider is expected to debut simultaneously on
Windows PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. However,
recent comments from Global Brand Director Karl
Stewart suggest no love for Nintendo Wii U, at
least anytime soon. "At this time, no. When we
started developing the game we made a conscious
decision that it was all about building the game
for a platform and making sure the game was specific
to that platform."
"Given
that we've been working on the game quite a while
before Wii U was announced I think it would not
be right to try and port it across. If we started
building a game for the Wii U we would build it
very differently and we would build it with unique
functionality."
