Free Radical Design

Free Radical Design was a UK-based video game development company founded in 1999, known for the TimeSplitters series. Between 2006 and 2008, the company was developing Star Wars: Battlefront III, but the game ended up cancelled by LucasArts.

Late-2008, cornered by Battlefront III cancellation, and Haze poor release, the company was in bankruptcy.[1] It was then purchased by Crytek in February 2009, becoming Crytek UK.[4] In 2014, the studio closed as Crytek sold its assets to Koch Media, and the staff was transferred to Dambuster Studios.[3]
