Major Square Enix title coming to Nintendo Wii U in 2013

Tomb Raider


On Monday morning it was revealed that Straight Right, developers handling the “Mass Effect 3” port on Wii U, also has an additional project in the works for Nintendo’s new home console.
According to the LinkedIn profile of technical project manager Chris Slater, Straight Right is “porting a triple-A Square Enix game to the yet-to-be-released Wii U platform”.
Earlier in the year, Straight Right CEO Tom Crago teased that a “big game in a well-known franchise will be released in 2013”. It can be assumed that this tease is related to the Square Enix game; however, the question now remains as to what the title could be.
Square Enix has a number of titles planned for 2013, of which include: “Tomb Raider” and “Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII”.
In January of 2012, Crystal Dynamics’ Karl Stewart dismissed the idea of a Wii U port of “Tomb Raider” and cited that if they were to port “Tomb Raider” to Wii U they would want to “build it with unique functionality.”
If not “Tomb Raider” or “Lightning Returns”, it could be an older title, so the possibilities are quite vast – like “Sleeping Dogs”.
