God of War developer Cory Barlog signs up with Crystal Dynamics

Cory Barlog, best known for his work on God of War, has been hired by Crystal Dynamics, a Square Enix studio.

Crystal Dynamics is currently working on a Tomb Raider reboot and an unannounced game that fans will endlessly speculate is a new game in the Legacy of Kain series. Hopefully, whichever project Barlog is working on doesn’t involve just adding in a lot of extra QTE. Given the robust nature of the games he’s directed (God of War II and both PSP games), it seems that gamers are in for a real treat here.

Head of studio Darrell Gallagher said: “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.”
