Free Radical Design

Canon Linked from 3 articles

Free Radical Design was a UK-based video game development company founded in 1999, known for the TimeSplitters series. Between 2006 and 2008, the company was developing Star Wars: Battlefront III, but the game ended up cancelled by LucasArts.

Late-2008, cornered by Battlefront III cancellation, and Haze poor release, the company was in bankruptcy. It was then purchased by Crytek in February 2009, becoming Crytek UK. In 2014, the studio closed as Crytek sold its assets to Koch Media, and the staff was transferred to Dambuster Studios.
