It's pretty likely.

Amazon rumor: Forza 6 - September 18, Rise of the Tomb Raider - November 13
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
As people have said, the tomb raider bundle will most likely be the AC bundle from last year. They will make millions of them and every console sold the holiday will be a tomb raider bundle.
Which makes me think the halo bundle will be there but more limited than the Tr bundle.
Also it launches between COD and BF. People who want to buy it still will. And it'll also get a boost during Black Friday. Has to drop before Black Friday

Damn, right in the mix with Black Ops 3, too many games this year.
seems too soon to me. they must have a lot on offer next year if they're cramming everything into the last 4 months of 2015.
They already said fall 2015.
Forza 6, Halo 5, Tomb Raider and a Gears remaster are 'everything'?

If Fallout 4 comes out this fall as well then I feel real bad for Tomb Raider if it's not bundled.

I feel like Fallout will release in October if it comes out this year.
They come out on a 2 year cycle and Forza 5 came out Nov. 2013.

It's coming 2015, the Community Manager confirmed it, the " Exclusive on Xbox in Holiday 2015" confirms it and Major Nelson saying "the biggest blockbuster of the year with exclusives like Halo 5, Forza 6 and Rise of the Tomb Raider" in the 1tb announcement trailer. It's coming this year, expect this release date @ E3
With all the announcements from MS so far, I don't think they have much choice but to release it this holiday, regardless of whatever state the game may be in.
Well after all they're getting a lot of money from MS for a timed exclusive that should release in the holiday season. So why would MS pay them if they'd release in in spring 2016 and a few months after that they'd release it on PS4?
Lamee says October 27th for Forza.

1: Sounds about right
2: Of course it's Amazon France

lol why? If the game is great it'll sell regardless. You'd think TR was a new IP with the way some peeps are concerned smh.

Well Halo 5 comes out October 27th ... so that's false...
Yeah, and the last Tomb Raider was billed as a holiday 2012 game until around E3 2012 too. Not like a delay is out of the question or without precedent here.
Actually, yeah... now I think about it this is a more likely scenario than a delay considering how this gen has been going so far.

So, november:
CoD, with Sony and Activision's marketing
Star Wars with Sony, EA's and Disney's Marketing
Syndicate with Sony and Ubisoft's marketing
Tomb Raider with MS' marketing

If fallout 4 comes out in October... Sheesh and then battlefront out in November. I do feel bad for TR unless it's bundled
It's always been around September.
FM6 in Sept sounds good. Only have to wait 3 months. Means I want to see an on-stage demo at your press conference, Microsoft, since it should be near final.
FM6 in Sept, Halo 5/Uncharted Collection in Oct, and Battlefront in Nov. Good to go.
I'll look at Tomb Raider when it's on PS4.

I do not see the overlap between a Star Wars almost all multiplayer shooter and a new Tomb Raider game.
Me neither, people that want to buy Tomb Raider aren't going to be turned away by Star Wars.
I really enjoyed the new Tomb Raider, and I want the next installment. I've been playing them since the original PC/PS/SS release in the 90's.
However, a new Star Wars game (especially if it's epic) absolutely wins out with my $$ and time.
Haha, right when I post that.
It wins for me with my limited gaming time. Star Wars nostalgia and love from my childhood wins over Tomb Raider nostalgia and love from my child(teen)hood.
interesting edit.

Good games don't always get bought simply because of their release schedule. See Sunset Overdrive 2014.
I'm pretty sure Deus Ex is 2016. And I feel like Just Cause will get pushed to 2016.
As for the others, yeah Tomb Raider is in trouble. It's getting released right between the two biggest games of the year. Hell, Halo 5 might be in trouble. Fallout 4 is rumored to release only 4 days before Halo 5. AC also releases that week and Black Ops 3 releases a week later. Games are expensive and most people will only buy 2-3 games at max. And that'll probably end up being BO3/Battlefront and/or a yearly sports release or two.
Those will be good dates for both games. Forza 6 I'm not 100% on purchasing, as I'm way more into the Horizon games, but Tomb Raider I'm all for. It'll keep things busy between Black Ops III and Battlefront.
Unless we get a dreaded last year scenario where everything jumps ship for early next year.

i guess time has sort of escaped me a bit. it only feels like yesterday the current gen consoles came out. lol. maybe the forza horizon 2 buffer didn't help much. feels a little like franchise fatique.

I most certainly will be. Infact because its dice, I dont even know if I will buy it!
Definitely 2016, if not even 2017.
Crackdown is a 2016 title, I believe.
