What was once rumour has already turned into fact as ”a sale completed” to Crytek last night, saving over 40 jobs from the hellfire of recession.
Understandably a wave of relief has washed over the UK developer team and they can now ”get back to concentrating on making games,” said Free Radical’s Derek Littlewood.
”It’s clearly a really, really good thing,” former Haze creative lead Littlewood tells VG247.
”More than anything else I think everyone is relieved that we can now get back to concentrating on making games.”
Of course what would be super great now is if they put another bid to LucasArts for a second shot at Star Wars Battlefront III, but that ship has likely sailed on forever by now.
”We are pleased to announce that a sale completed to Crytek late last night thus preserving over 40 jobs,” said a rep for administrator ReSolve Partners.
Maximum thanks, Crytek.
