A recent announcement by Crystal Dynamics states that Cory Barlog, the creative director behind God of War II, has joined the development team to work on the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot as well as an unannounced project.

“Crystal has pulled together some of the best teams in the industry to deliver against upcoming projects and future IP. 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 Darrell Gallagher, head of the studio.

At this point in time I wonder if we’ll be able to see major influences by Barlog in the upcoming Tomb Raider title at all, though hopefully his experience is being put to use in a new Legacy of Kain installation.
