Free Rad man: Crytek buy is a "really, really good thing"

timesplittersa

Former Haze creative lead Derek Littlewood has told VG247 this morning that a now-confirmed sale of Free Radical to Crytek has brought "relief" to the UK firm.

"It's clearly a really, really good thing," he said.

"More than anything else I think everyone is relieved that we can now get back to concentrating on making games."

A Crytek sale was rumoured last night and confirmed by Free Radical administrator ReSolve Partners this morning.

Free Radical entered administration at the end of last year, shedding 100 jobs over Christmas.

A formal announcement of the sale is expected later today.
