Microsoft has reversed a decision to remove a major game from the Xbox Game Pass library after announcing it would leave on April 15.
Microsoft has reversed a decision to remove a major game this week on April 15. When the game will now be removed from Xbox Game Pass, has not been revealed by Microsoft, but it won’t happen this month. The game in question hails from 2018, and according to some, it is one of the best games of 2018. More specifically, it comes from Eidos Montreal and Square Enix. The former, for those that don’t recognize the name, is the studio best known for the modern Deus Ex games.
As for the game itself, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the 12th mainline Tomb Raider game, and the third and final game in the Survivor trilogy, which began with 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot, and then continued with 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider. Both of these previous entries were made by Crystal Dynamics not Eidos Montreal.
“Experience Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider,” reads an official description of the game. “In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will ultimately be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be.
