TOBY GARD LINKED
TO NEW TOMB RAIDER

[ June 18th 2009 ]
Toby
Gard may have inadvertently shed light on a recent
AAA project advertised by U.S. studio Crystal
Dynamics in a recruitment posting. According to
Gard's LinkedIn
profile, his current position at Crystal Dynamics
is "leading a design group for an unannounced
project", quite possibly the very same project
that needs staffing.
Earlier
this week, it emerged Crystal Dynamics were looking
for a senior
art director on one of the most prestigious
AAA franchises in the industry, leading to speculation
that the title in question was indeed Tomb Raider
9.
Toby
Gard, along with a team of developers at Core
Design, were the principle architects of Lara
Croft back in 1996. Since then, the video-game
series has spawned a number of sequels, prestigious
product placements and two motion pictures starring
Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie.
Eidos
is not expected to officially reveal a new Tomb
Raider game until 2010. Thanks to Tomb
Raider Forums for the heads up.
