Redwood City, California-based game developer
Crystal Dynamics is getting prepped to work on an all-original game after working exclusively as the makers of the last few games in the
Tomb Raider series. Gamasutra reports that the studio has hired a new executive producer, Scot Amos, that will lead the new game IP team.
Amos comes from Electronic Arts'
Visceral Studios where he helped to develop the team's
Dead Space games. Currently Crystal Dynamics is working on the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise for publisher
Square Enix that's due out late in 2011. This new game will be the first all original title from the studio since the sci-fi first person shooter
Project Snowblind which was released in 2006.
