Co-founders of Tomb Raider developer Core Design, Adrian Smith and Jeremy Heath-Smith, are to set up a new UK development studio, we can reveal. Following Heath-Smith's departure after the Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness release debacle, his brother is joining him to front this new venture.
A Core insider, operating under conditions of anonymity, told us: "Adrian [Smith] is leaving to start up again with his brother. They've hand-picked a number of staff [from Core] to join them at the new company; everybody else is staying behind and Core will continue to run as usual."
