Interestingly, this isn’t the only new at Crystal Dynamics for now. The developer has indeed announced a brand new wave of hires, that lets the Redwood Shores team become much bigger and top level when it comes to quality.

Among the new staffers, we can find Vincent Napoli, the new Lead Combat Designer at Crystal Dynamics who was most recently on the latest God of War, plus Ben Wanat, an 18-year industry veteran and an original co-founder of the Dead Space franchise, who led the development of Dead Space 3 as Creative Director.

The Avengers Project has yet to be revealed, but it was rumored to be a Marvel: Avengers Alliance reboot as a co-op based service game in the likes of Destiny and The Division.
