EA in talks to acquire Far Cry developer Crytek?

August 26th - 7 Responses

It almost feels like EA day here at Playthrough HQ, but it’s not, we swear, we just love juicy gossip involving the industry in our own back yard. There are currently rumours swirling around the industry that an acquisition of German games developer Crytek may be in the works by mega-publisher EA, who already have publishing and licensing agreements in-place with Crytek. EA has been quite active recently in the German market, infusing the once-struggling local industry with an influx of resources and work. A recent article in German newspaper Die Welt quotes EA’s VP and GM of International Publishing Gerhard Florin as stating that Crytek is a “very, very interesting candidate” for an acquisition. However, an interview later with Crytek’s co-founder, Faruk Yerli, confirmed that a conversation has taken place between EA and Crytek, but refused to indicate if an acquisition is pending. Yerli also mentioned that Crytek is considering an initial public offering on the German stock market.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know, I really like the written substance on your site. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu as well as the seem and really feel aren’t very satisfying. Not a powerful deal, I can still essentially go through the articles and search for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is form of challenging to use with the config I’m running. Maintain up the superb function!
