Former Vigil general manager and co-owner David Adams, along with 35 colleagues, have landed roles at Crytek.

Adams is now CEO of the newly-opened Crytek US studio. Understandably, he's quite happy about the new role.

"I'm thrilled to be a part of the newest Crytek studio, which will boast some of the brightest development talent in the industry," he said in the announcement. "The studio's launch represents Crytek's commitment to delivering diverse and high quality content to players everywhere."

Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli added: "We are extremely excited about the work that we will be undertaking from our strategic new location in Austin, with David Adams and his team of 35 experienced developers. We believe our CryENGINE technology will enable the team we assemble to create unparalleled new gaming experiences."

Will Crytek work on Vigil's project Crawler? Last week, the developer bought the rights to Homefront for $544.218. We will have to see.

"Homefront 2", or a third title in this mediocre franchise, here we come. Hope it does better third time around in the hands of these experienced Devs and with a smart looking engine. Hope it's not DLC-based though.

It is "HF 2" after all, and Kaos were already working on it. Looks like the only really change at this stage might be the release date. Let's hope there will be more to it than that as I don't/didn't trust Kaos.
