Kotaku reports  that leadership was among those that have departed already. We were  able to confirm a number of employee departures in June and July, with  placements at Red Fly Studios, id Software, Battlecry Studios, and Retro  Studios. We've reached out to Crytek for comment. Update #2: We're starting to see indication of staff  preparing for a move from Crytek UK to Deep Silver Dambuster. The first  is Graeme Norgate, composer at Crytek UK who has indicated via Twitter  he'll be joining Deep Silver.Update #1: Crytek has issued a statement detailing  further changes to its operations following the divestment of the  Homefront IP. The developer also says that, in accordance with UK law,  all staff from Crytek UK will transfer to Deep Silver to continue work.  This indicates that Crytek will no longer have a UK presence.This also has impact on Crytek USA's Hunt: Horrors of the Guilded  Age. Development will transfer from the Austin, Texas studio to Crytek  in Frankfurt. The United States presence will be scaled back to include  only support for North American CryEngine licenses. Employees not on the  support team will be eligible to apply for positions in Frankfurt,  Germany. "We would like to thank all our staff – past and present – in both  Nottingham and Austin for their contributions to the company, and we  wish all the very best to anyone who may no longer be under the Crytek  banner moving forward," said Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli in a statement sent  via email. Crytek studios in Budapest, Istanbul, Kiev, and Sofia will  continue operating as usual. Locations in Shanghai and Seoul are now  under review for "closer collaboration."We've reached out to Deep Silver for clarification on staffing arrangements for the new Dambuster Studios.Original Story: Deep Silver has announced that it has acquired the entire Homefront  IP from ailing developer Crytek. The publisher has also tasked its new,  in-house development team, Dambuster Studios, based in Nottingham, UK. This includes the recently announced Homefront: The Revolution. Crytek acquired the Homefront IP from the first round of THQ auctions for $500,000. Crytek has been experiencing financial problems that came to light over the past month. According to reports, the company had not been paying employees, and some had walked off the job. Most recently, the publisher issued a statement saying it had “laid the foundations for securing Crytek’s future.” We now know that is a future without Homefront.</blockquote>
