Crytek Purchases Free Radical, Developer “now out of the woods”
Free Radical, famed developers of the great Timesplitters series and not so good Haze, has had a bit of a financial issue lately and has closed down. However, Crytek, the German developers behind Crysis, have purchased Free Radical for an undisclosed amount.
Free Radical scriptwriter Rob Yescombe confirmed the purchase of Free Radical by Crytek. “After seven long weeks of uncertainty, I can confirm that Free Radical is now out of the woods. We’ve been bought by a really, really good company.”
So it looks like Free Radical is back and with a great developer such as Crytek owning them, I think we can expect some good projects to come out of there.
