Crystal Dynamics is an American video game developer that was founded in 1992 by Judy Lang, Madaline Canepa and Dave Morris. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was acquired by Eidos Interactive, a British video game publisher, in 1998. After Square Enix's acquisition of Eidos in 2009, it became a subsidiary of Square Enix.[1] Crystal was the first licensed developer for 3DO, a gaming hardware platform funded by Kleiner Perkins. Their first game, Crash 'n Burn, was a launch title for the system and was included as a pack-in game with Panasonic's original 3DO console.[2] 3DO's launch during the 1993 Christmas season was a commercial failure, undermining Crystal's one-platform software strategy. The company then became a publisher for two new 32-bit, 3D-capable consoles, the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

Crystal Dynamics was best known for developing the Legacy of Kain and Gex series, but in 2003 the studio became known for the development of the best-selling Tomb Raider franchise after its original developer, Core Design, failed to gain critical or commercial success with their later Tomb Raider games. In 2006, Tomb Raider: Legend was released; it became the fastest selling game in the series and eventually sold 4.5 million units worldwide.[3][4] Crystal Dynamics then co-developed Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a remake of the first Tomb Raider game, with developer Buzz Monkey Software, and released it in June 2007. The next installment, Tomb Raider Underworld, was released on November 2008 on next-generation consoles and enjoyed critical praise and commercial success.
