Wells spent 13 years at Irrational Games but in August 2012 joined Naughty Dog. There he worked on post-apocalyptic award-winner The Last Of Us, before leaving in April this year to join Unfinished Swan studio Giant Sparrow.
We've contacted Crystal Dynamics for more on its new hire, but it's a safe bet that he'll be lending his expertise to the studio's Tomb Raider franchise.
