They've been bought by Crytek.

Here's to a) hope they kept the staff, at least the totally awesome music guys, and b) "Timesplitters Trilogy", coming soon to PC

So Crytek is expanding even further, I thought they would have enough in 3 studios.

funny enough i mistook the first haze screens i saw (http://www.play3.de/wp-content/myfotos/ ... 07_org.jpg) for some cheap crysis clone... sounds cool crytek can grow with this and hopefully work out on a different ip

Go Crytek

I have to say I'm really digging this Crytek expansion. Europe needs a strong leader in development. And also it gives me hope that I could find a good job should I ever get kicked out of Canada lol

GO CRYTEK!!!!

And this news is really cool

Fixed (Frankfurt, Kiev, Budapest, the one formerly known as "Black Isle Studios" and an office in Seoul).

o_O That's a positive surprise

Haze 2 with CryEngine 2!

As if Crytek would want to work with Ubi again....

I was joking!

Welcome to Crytek UK!

*adds to list of places to eventually apply to*

Nice!

Bloody loved Second Sight and the Timesplitters games... didn't play Haze though.

Name change is kinda disappointing, I liked the sound of Free Radical

Does Eidos own the Timesplitters name? I dunno if Crytek would go to them in order to make TS4

Great news for our games Industry in the UK, with the Government not really doing much to help it grow. Really looking forward to seeing what Crytek UK will be working on.
