Crytek’s new studio in Austin, Texas is primarily comprised of ex-Vigil employees. This may seem like a pretty good opportunity for Crytek to pick up THQ’s Darksiders IP, but nope – it won’t be happening.

If Crytek USA won’t be working on Darksiders, what kind of titles will the company be involved with? Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli explained:

“It would be pretty much safe to say that this team will be working on online games. (Crytek USA will focus on) online games and kick-ass triple-A productions. It is going to be quite a significant investment for Crytek over the next five years.”

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Warren Spector has moved on from Disney Interactive. Spector’s studio, Junction Point, was officially shut down today, but it was unclear if he would move on from Disney as a whole.

A representative has since confirmed that Warren Spector is no longer with Disney. This is backed up by his LinkedIn profile, which now states: “Wondering what comes next?… Want to talk?”

90’s Arcade Racer was never a sure-thing for Wii U, but creator Pelikan13 had shown interest in the possibility. Today, Pelikan13 posted a new update on the official Kickstarter page that strongly hints at a version for Nintendo’s console.

The message reads:

“Since the project went live there have been some very exciting developments that I can’t talk about yet but the game could be heading for the TV. This is not a one person project anymore and I hope U Wiil stay tuned for more news.”

Take a look at that last sentence – specifically “U Wiil”. Get rid of the “l” and switch “U” and “Wii”. What do you have? Wii U!
