Crytek USA to bid on Darksiders IP?
Crytek USA CEO David Adams, formally the head of Vigil Games, has supposedly relayed his intentions to bid on the Darksiders IP through a tweet earlier today.

Going to bid on Darksiders IP. Put 7 years of heart and soul into that franchise, and I think it belongs at home with its creators.

Crytek USA will be looking to obtain the Darksiders IP from the now-defunct THQ. If the company does manage to acquire the series’ rights, Darksiders will essentially be returning to its original developer. Following the closing of Vigil Games after a lack of interest from buyers during the THQ auction, many of its staffers went on to join Crytek USA.
The one caveat in all of this is that we’re not quite sure if the Twitter account is the real deal. If it is, then Crytek USA will in fact be going after the Darksiders IP.
