Creative Assembly har netop færdiggjort Halo Wars 2 til Xbox One og PC og de har stået bag glimrende spil som for eksempel Alien: Isolation. Afdelingen er vokset støt det sidste år og er nu oppe på mere end 500 ansatte og ledelsen har i et stykke tid ville udvide yderligere og har haft kig på en række forskellige studier, som de kunne opkøbe. Valget faldt så i denne omgang på Crytek Black Sea, som jo nok også var til at betale.
Tim Heaton, Studio Director hos Creative Assembly udtaler:
We have actually been eyeing potential studios specifically to expand Creative Assembly's (CA) output for some time. Parties have been discussing this deal over the last few months, since the opportunity arose to purchase Crytek Black Sea, and integrate them into CA’s operation. While Sega are always looking out for acquisitions that fit with the rest of the business, this addition has been motivated by the growing CA output, and the need to support that growth with talented and experienced teams. CA has never had the aim solely to grow big, but our games have given us the opportunity to work on more projects. As we have taken those opportunities, we have needed to seek out more talent who reflect the calibre of our games.
