35 Vigil staffers move to Crytek’s new studio in the US

Crytek’s new studio in the US will be primarily comprised of staffers from the now-defunct Vigil Games. The company essentially closed its doors following THQ’s auction of assets last week.

In a statement, Crytek confirmed that 35 developers are joining its new division in Austin, Texas – including former GM and co-owner David Adams.

“We can confirm that the 35 developers are former Vigil Games employees.”

Separately, Crytek’s Jens Schafer said that the studio is “more like a new start for [the team at Vigil].”
