Lara to start sporting bootcut jeans?
Jeff Ross, director of Sony Bend’s successful survival horror adventureDays Gone, has announced that they have saddled up the ol’ hog and taken up a new role with Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the hugely successfulTomb Raiderreboot. Ross will work at CD in the role of Design Director.
Rossconfirmed the news on social media, though the director remained tight-lipped regarding the projects he will now be plying his trade on. Given that Crystal Dynamics literally announced a new, Unreal 5-basedTomb Raidertitle earlier this week, and givenDays Gone‘s atmospheric “wilderness” nature, it seems a pretty snug assumption that Ross will be helping to form Ms. Croft’s next journey into the undergrowth.
Despite the (admittedly surprising) sales success ofDays Gone, which even beat NetherRealm Studios’Mortal Kombat 11to the top of the UK Charts, Sony Interactive Entertainment wasseemingly disappointedwith the open-world adventure’s success, putting the kibosh on a planned sequel. While he has not openly expressed this, one would assume that Ross’ movement to Crystal Dynamics might afford him the opportunity to transition some of hisDays Gone 2ideas into Lara’s equally dangerous world.
