Dupa cum stie toata lumea THQ a intrat in faliment iar bunurile lor au ajuns la licitatie. Desi multe dintre licentele / studiorile acestei companii si-au gasit alti proprietari, spre surprinderea multor oameni, echipa si licenta Darksiders nu a fost achizitionate de nimeni. Asta cel putin pana in aceasta dimineata cand cei de la Crytek au anuntat achizitionarea echipei de baza de la Vigil Games si infiintarea unui nou studio in Austin Texas. In urma primei licitatii THQ, Crytek a mai cumparat si licenta pentru Homefront.
CEO-ul Crytek, Cevat Yerli, a declarat urmatoarele pentru presa:
We are extremely excited about the work that we will be undertaking from our strategic new location in Austin, with David Adams and his team of 35 experienced developers. We believe our CryENGINE® technology will enable the team we assemble to create unparalleled new gaming experiences.
De asemenea, David Adams, unul dintre fondatori si fostul general manager al Vigil Games, a fost numit in pozitia de CEO al Crytek USA declarand urmatoarele:
I’m thrilled to be a part of the newest Crytek studio, which will boast some of the brightest development talent in the industry. The studio’s launch represents Crytek’s commitment to delivering diverse and high quality content to players everywhere.
Din pacate nu se stie inca ce se va intampla cu licenta Darksiders care este inca "in aer". In urma unor tweet-uri s-au declarat interesate de catre acesta licenta Platinum Games si SONY Santa Monica, daca ar putea fi achizitionata la "un pret bun".
