Formerly Free Radical Design, Crytek UK was a console-focused satellite studio for the Germany-based Crytek. The studio was shut down on July 30, 2014.
According to CEO Yerli Cervat, the Free Radical acquisition will accelerate their console plans. Talking with GamesIndustry.biz he stated the following;
We always planned to enter the console market and it was part of our strategy even before the acquisition. This step will certainly bring us forward a bit faster to achieve our goal to develop high quality games on consoles.
We think Free Radical fits into our culture and strategy," added Yerli. "They have a proven track record in developing great games on consoles and PC. This combined with our own CryENGINE technology and a very experienced team is more than perfect for us.
