==History==
Crystal Dynamics was formed in mid-1992 by Sega veterans Judy Lang, Madeline Canepa, and Dave Morse. Crystal was the first licensed developer for 3DO, a gaming hardware platform simultaneously funded by Kleiner Perkins. In 1993, Strauss Zelnick, president of 20th Century Fox's film studio, was hired to run Crystal Dynamics. This made national news and helped to touch off the frenzy of multimedia investments of the mid-1990s. A 1993 editorial in ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' declared that "the hottest new video game company on the upscale scene is definitely Crystal Dynamics."
Crystal Dynamics had been most known for developing ''Legacy of Kain'' and ''Gex'', but in 2003, the studio was entrusted the development of the best-selling ''Tomb Raider'' franchise after original developer Core Design failed to gain critical or commercial success with their later ''Tomb Raider'' games, and released its first game in the series in 2006, ''Tomb Raider: Legend'', which was the fastest selling game in the entire series, selling 4.5 million units worldwide. Crystal Dynamics recently co-developed ''Tomb Raider: Anniversary'' with developer Buzz Monkey Software. ''Tomb Raider: Anniversary'', a remake of the first ''Tomb Raider'' game, was released in June 2007. The next installment, ''Tomb Raider Underworld'', was released on November 2008 on consoles. Crystal Dynamics' next release was the spin-off title ''Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light'', which did not feature the ''Tomb Raider'' branding despite utilizing the lead character. The game was released for digital distribution only. This was followed by ''Tomb Raider'' in 2013, a reboot which introduced a new back story for Lara.
