Following its purchase by Embracer Group, there's uncertainty around what direction Crystal Dynamics will go with its IP in the future. A new Tomb Raider title was recently confirmed, and Perfect Dark is being made alongside The Initiative, but the acquisition raises questions around how the company's design philosophy will change. Marvel's Avengers was a different approach for the developer, with a live service model that didn't do well enough to maintain a strong player base in the long term. It's clear that the California-based outfit is at home in the third-person action/adventure genre, and at the height of superheroes' popularity, there's one franchise it would be perfectly suited for.
