An online resume notes it as ”third person urban action” game but that it was also ”canceled before completion.” The studio is hiring.
”Downfall, Third person urban action game canceled before completion,” read Joel Boucquemont’s online resume, reports VG247. ”Exclusively responsible for creating the environmental concepts establishing the look and feel of the game,” he added.
Early in the month it was found that Crystal Dynamics was looking to hire a Senior Art Director to work on ”the most prestigious AAA franchises in the industry.” This came amid the news that the studio has laid a number of staff off.
By Boucquemont’s word this Downfall concept was all stations go before the Tomb Raider developer pulled the plug. Another former employee, Casey Holtz, described this game as a ”3rd person, survival-horror open world game,” posting concept pieces too.
Right now the studio is busy with digital title Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and also making the next major instalment to the Tomb Raider series.
