Crytek not purchasing Darksiders IP

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.”
