Tomb Raider Creative Director Moves Over To 343 Industries

Tim Longo, creative director for the recent Tomb Raider reboot (and Star Wars: Republic Commando), has recently moved over to 343 Industries to begin work on the Halo series.

Longo's Twitter and LinkedIn bios were recently updated to to reflect his new position with the title creative director at 343 Industries. 343 Industries' previous creative director, Josh Holmes, now has the title executive producer for Halo, as noted on his LinkedIn account.

@DavidEllis I'm too far gone for @tombraider feedback now! @CrystalDynamics is your source. I'm all #343Industries & @HaloWaypoint now! :)

Our Take
I'm a little surprised to see Longo leave Tomb Raider after the reboot's success, but as a fan of both the new Tomb Raider and Halo, I am excited to see how the next Halo will change with his influence.
