Yet another job listing reveal could mean a major change for one of the industry’s most beloved franchises. Eidos’ Crystal Dynamics studio recently requested a lead designer “to lead on future AAA title development for Xbox 360 and PS3.” Continuing, “This position requires the ability to create a distinct multiplayer experience.” Most known for continuing the popular platform-action Tomb Raider franchise, the inclusion of multiplayer could work with Lara Croft’s recent stint into third-person shooter territory. From the rumors that are now floating about industry insiders – including Elder-Geek, naturally – is that such a position would lead towards to separate, deathmatch-style content rather than in-campaign integration like co-op missions.
Is some Tomb Raider deathmatch madness right up your alley? Think the franchise should stick to the single player extension? Let us know your thoughts below!
Crystal Dynamics should drop Lara Croft for a bit and port Gex to the NDS. Just my two cents.
I’d support this decision.
I third this motion.
