The studio is currently working on the promising newTomb Raiderin addition to an unannounced game. “Cory’s heritage in building industry-defining action adventure titles, together with our focus on delivering quality character-driven blockbuster entertainment, makes Cory a tremendously exciting addition to the team,” said Crystal Dynamics head Darrell Gallagher.
What this move means for the aforementionedMax Maxproject isn’t entirely clear. Avalanche founder Christofer Sundbergtold Eurogamerthat he “can’t comment on our project, but all I can say is that the projects we’ve been working on for the last two years and the one we recently started up in NY are sailing along like never before.”
