History
In 2014, Crytek suffered a financial crisis due to internal structuring, and ceased paying wages to the staff members at their UK subsidiary, Crytek UK. During the development of Homefront: The Revolution, Crytek would sell the Homefront IP to Deep Silver and close down Crytek UK. In accordance with British law, most of Crytek UK's staff members were moved to a new studio founded by Deep Silver called Dambuster Studios to continue Homefront: The Revolutions development. Dambuster Studios is the third Deep Silver in-house development team, following Volition and Fishlabs.By August 2019, Dambuster had taken over the development on Dead Island 2 from Sumo Digital, and had 140 employees.
