This exclusivity has a duration, but it is currently unknown how long it lasts and which platform releases are to be expected after the time has run out.
Story
A well-funded, shady organisation Trinity has covered up the events that happened on the island of Yamatai and Lara’s own account in the events has been discredited. Lara sets her sights on a fabled tomb said to house the soul of an immortality-granting prophet and travels to Siberia to seek for the Kitezh.

Features & Gameplay
The game features multiple locations, for example icy mountains with caves Lara can explore, located in Siberia. Hunting and the crafting and upgrading of items are once again part of the game.
The game is set in a similar situation as the reboot where Lara must gradually collect and upgrade her gear. She also has to build a Base Camp by scavenging wood and pelts. Plants and animals "don't spit out magic XP or the nondescript 'salvage' used to upgrade in Tomb Raider, but offer specific materials: wood from saplings, hide from a deer half-finished by wolves."
In addition, leaves can be used to heal wounds and common resources like mushrooms let Lara craft special ammo, such as poison-tipped arrowheads.[7]
Gear upgrades require rarer materials, from animals that now respond to time of day. An alpha wolf only emerges at night, for example, bringing with him the hide for a nifty furred hood. The player also has a choice over what equipment to improve. For example the first bow, which is made from materials, won’t be replaced by shinier models; it has its own upgrade path.[8]
