Lucasarts hires former Tomb Raider man Tim Longo for unannounced project
Lucasarts has announced it has hired Tomb Raider’s former creative and franchise director Tim Longo.
The ex-Crystal Dynamics man will serve as creative director on an unannounced project, the firm told Gamasutra.
Longo worked with Lucasarts previously on titled such as Star Wars: Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter as the games’ lead designer, and he was also Star Wars: Republic Commando’s creative director. He was even a playtester for X-Wing vs TIE fighter back in the late 90s.
A company statement said it was “thrilled to welcome him back to the Lucasarts family.”
Longo’s last Tomb Raider projects were Underworld and Anniversary.

Would also like another Battlefront spin off for the launch of the NGP & i don’t care about the 3DS but if they can manage it on there(physically they could, depending on their engine) & are able to make use of the 3D, then go ahead.
