Eidos Montreal, de nieuwe ontwikkelstudio van Eidos, heeft bekend gemaakt dat Deux Ex 3 op de Tomb Raider Legend engine zal gaan draaien. De next-gen engine is speciaal ontwikkeld voor Tomb Raider Legend en wel door Crystal Dynamics en Eidos Montreal. Eidos kon kiezen uit een engine van IO Interactieve, die gebruikt werd voor Kane & Lynch, maar de Tomb Raider Legend engine bleek een betere keuze voor de developer.
“This is a very important factor for us. In former positions where I worked technology was always a grey zone, a question mark. I’m relieved that here at Eidos we have two great internal engines – one from IO and one from Crystal. We chose the Crystal engine because we plan to help develop this engine more and then share it back with the rest of the company, the other Eidos studios. Having that technology from the start gives us a great advantage and foundation for our coders – there are no doubts about the approach, and we have few uncertainties. We just want to all work together on improving the same technology as we develop our game.”
