Crytek announces acquisition of Homefront video game franchise Published by forahobby on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,
Crytek GmbH has announced the acquisition of the intellectual property rights for the "Homefront" video game franchise following an auction of assets by THQ Inc.
Crytek's association with the Homefront IP began in autumn 2011, when the developer announced it would be creating the second game in the series in partnership with THQ Inc. Following THQ’s recent decision to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy and the subsequent sale of the publisher’s assets, Crytek submitted the high bid at auction to secure the rights to the Homefront franchise. Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli, said: "Since we first reached an agreement to develop Homefront 2, we've been firm believers in the IP and its potential to excite and amaze players. Our cooperation with THQ was always positive and we would like to thank them for all their support over the last two years and express our sympathy to those affected by the recent events at the company."
Development work will continue on Homefront 2 at Crytek’s UK studio in Nottingham. "From day one, the Homefront 2 team has been committed to creating a game that takes the series to new heights and features the level of quality and innovation associated with Crytek," said Nick Button-Brown, General Manager of Games at Crytek. "Nothing has changed with regards our development of the game, and we look forward to sharing the finished product with players."
