"Tomb Raider&amp;#039;s upcoming franchise reboot will not be released for the Wii U, it has been confirmed. Development of the game started &amp;quot;quite a while before Wii U was announced&amp;quot;, explains Crystal Dynamics&amp;#039; Karl Stewart, adding that &amp;quot;it would not be right to try and port it across&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot; he revealed on the Crystal Habit Podcast. &amp;quot;If we started building a game for the Wii U we would build it very differently and we would build it with unique functionality,&amp;quot; he concluded.   A MAC version of Tomb Raider was also confirmed. Meanwhile, region-specific Collector&amp;#039;s Editions were described as a &amp;quot;certainty&amp;quot;. Announced in late 2010, Tomb Raider will be an origin story for Lara Croft, seeing her shipwrecked and stranded on a Pacific island. The open-world title will see Lara&amp;#039;s abilities improve over time, providing her with new tools, gear and athletic prowess to access new areas of the island. Tomb Raider will be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year. Watch the debut trailer for Tomb Raider below:   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
