Far Cry and Crysis developer Crytek today announced that a Kiev, Ukraine-based satellite office is now a full blown development studio, and the subsidiary has started work game using the company's CryEngine 2. Crytek managing director Faruk Yerli noted, "Our CryENGINE 2 middleware has reached the point of maturity where it can be used to support both different types and styles of games, and run on multiple platforms, we thought it was the optimum time to begin work on a new project based on our own new and original intellectual property, and elevate the Kiev operation to full studio status." The Kiev studio has been adding employees during the past year and a half while assisting Crytek's main Frankfurt, Germany office.

I'm kinda surprised that Crytek have the money to branch out like this. I think they have about 130 people working for them in Germany already and they've only had one game, which I think sold pretty well, but I don't believe was a mega-hit like Doom 3 or WoW. Maybe they just got a vast amount of money from selling the Far Cry brand to Ubisoft. It's possible given that 3d Realms got $50 million for Max Payne. Any one know any more about them; ie how rich are they? :P
