You may have missed the news a little while back about Embracer Group picking up Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal and their respective franchises in a landmark deal with Square Enix.
But now, Crystal Dynamics is taking ownership of the very work they hold dear.
The developer has announced that it now has full ownership of both the Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain franchises, along with several others. It still answers to Embracer Group, but it gets to make full development decisions when it comes to the franchises at hand.
According to the official blog post, "as a result of this change, Crystal Dynamics (or its affiliate) is now the owner of these games and the controller of the gameplay and personal data related to them."
The team is already hard at work on the next Tomb Raider adventure, utilizing Unreal Engine 5.
Alas, it hasn’t revealed details as to when we can expect it yet. But how about a remaster of Soul Reaver already, guys?!
