Gard left Core Design immediately after the launch of the critically-acclaimed first Tomb Raider game, and his return to the series he helped create comes some seven years after his original departure. In the intervening period, Gard oversaw the creation of long-delayed Xbox adventure title Galleon, developed by his own studio, Confounding Factors.
Now, industry whispers are suggesting that Confounding Factor is set to disband, rumours that have been fuelled heavily by Gard's departure to Crystal Dynamics, a developer probably best known for its work on the generally decent Soul Reaver series. "Toby will complement the existing talented team creating the next Tomb Raider title," gurgled a spokesperson for publisher and franchise owner Eidos said last night. "As the creator of the Lara Croft character, he brings a unique perspective to the development process."
