Crysis 3, Ryse producer Mike Read departs Crytek
Crytek's exodus of company talent continues, as Ryse: Son of Rome and Crysis 3 producer Mike Read has left the studio, The Escapist reports. The Escapist notes that Read's recently updated LinkedIn profile no longer lists Crytek as his current employer. Read's Twitter bio additionally states that he is a "former producer" at Crytek. Read's departure follows up on the recent resignation of 11-year Crytek veteran Tiago Sousa, who now serves as Lead Rendering Programmer at id Software. Subsidiary Crytek UK also saw a number of departures last month, losing more than 30 employees and Homefront: The Revolution director Hasit Zala amid rumors of late staff payments. [Image: Crytek]
Crysis 3 producer dances around Wii U possibility
Crysis 3 for Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console is a "possibility," producer Mike Read said recently, noting the company is working with Nintendo, but stopping short of any official declaration."I wouldn't say there's no chance," he said in an interview with CVG. "I mean the Wii U still doesn't have any kind of release [date] attached to it at this point. Who knows what the future will bring with it. I can definitely say that we are working with Nintendo, and that's about all I can say on that front."Crysis 3 is due in February 2013, a few months after the Wii U's expected holiday launch window.
