Crytek, the company behind Far Cry, Crysis and the upcoming Homefront 2, has opened a studio in Austin, Texas. Dubbed Crytek USA, it is the first time Crytek has opened up shop in the United States. However, that's not the most interesting subplot of this new studio.
Crytek USA will be headed up by CEO David Adams (pictured), the former general manager of Vigil Games. As you may recall, Vigil Games was shut down by THQ after the company received no bidders during THQ's sale of assets. Crytek USA is not just employing Adams - 36 former Vigil employees in total will be employed by Crytek USA.
