Koch Media together with its publishing label Deep Silver announced today that it has acquired the Homefront brand and all coherent assets from Crytek. This includes Homefront: The Revolution which has been announced on 2nd June 2014.
More importantly, the development of this brand new Homefront game will be continued in newly founded, Nottingham-based Deep Silver Dambuster Studios.
Dr. Klemens Kundratitz said:
“We are thrilled to see another great IP joining the Deep Silver universe. We strongly believe in the potential of Homefront: The Revolution and trust in the new team to continue the path we have been walking in the last years.”
In short, Crytek is falling apart. Or at least we can kiss goodbye to the Crytek we knew. The German studio revealed earlier this month that it has evolved from a developer to an Online-Publisher, and this move further strengthens that statement.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
