Tomb Raider creator heading up new Crystal Dynamics game photo

Toby Gard, creator of one of the most iconic videogame franchises of the nineties, has been named as lead designer on Crystal Dynamics' latest, unannounced title. The Tomb Raider creator revealed all on his LinkedIn profile, while Crystal Dynamics itself has been sniffing around for a senior art director on a "Triple A" videogame.

All signs point to yet another Lara Croft game, although personally I hope to see something different. Crystal Dynamics is pretty much known only for Lara and let's face it, the old girl's gone off the rails a bit. Let's have a new Legacy of Kain ... or a return to the Pandemonium series. Anything but Lara.

Yes, more Legacy of Kain please. If not that, how about something actually new.

In hindsight, the above header of Lara that I thought was alluring as a prepubescent boy is now evidently very stupid.

Why does Lara Croft even need to exist? She now just annoying and a reminder of why people think gaming is for angry 12 year old boys

Lara needs less clothes.
But a new LoK or Pandemonium would be very nice.

Isn't Tony Jay dead and Amy Hennig working for another dev team since years ago? I don't see another LOK coming any time soon.

Sadly, I think any new Tomb Raider game would be endlessly compared to the Uncharted series, which of course owes existence to Tomb Raider, creating a time paradox of fanboy gripes, ultimately leading to the destruction of all reality.

I owe my existence to my parents but that doesn't mean I have to be a stupid drunk as well

Pandemonium was actually a really fun platformer. Another would be nice.
