Veteran game designer Toby Gard, the man credited with inventing back in the early days at Core Design, has been placed in charge of her revamp at Crystal Dynamics.

Gard has been involved with for some time anyway, the designer having returned to after an ambitious but ultimately doomed foray in charge of his own start-up (remember Galleon?).

Now the Brit has been named lead designer on Crystal Dynamics' triple-A re-imagining of the franchise, which they have been hiring for over the last couple of months.

Eidos admitted post-Underworld that Lara was in need of a new image, and with Square Enix's millions now firmly behind the game it looks like we could be getting something of a series reboot.

Hopefully we'll learn more soon. Thanks VG247.
