In an effort to bolster Total War developer Creative Assembly, Sega Europe today has announced that it's acquired Crytek Black Sea and added the 60-person team from Bulgaria to the prominent UK developer. Crytek Black Sea has been renamed Creative Assembly Sofia and will be working on a number of unannounced projects.

Creative Assembly is looking to stay ahead in the UK games market, which generated £2.96bn in 2016, 1.3 times the size of the video market (£2.25bn) and 2.6 times the size of music (£1.1bn).

Crytek Black Sea made games like Knights of Honor, WordShift and Arena of Fate.

Creative Assembly is responsibily for Halo Wars 2, Total War and Alien: Isolation.

I love the total war series on PC, Alien Isolation was excellend and even Vikings: Battle for Asgard is a classic. The recent Halo Wars 2 is hands down the best strategy game ever controlled by a controller.

This studio is amazing and the studio they just acquired also made some excellent games, good stuff for all gamers :)

Wonder if they will add that team to their RTS games division,especially since they made Knights of Honor. I'd love to see Sega make more RTS games that aren't just TW games. Since they bought that studio, they should buy the C&C rights from EA since they've done nothing with that franchise for nearly 7 years now.

I really hope this means Alien Isolation gets a sequel or that Sega let them make another AAA first person horror game. What they achieved was invredible. Miles better than RE7.

Never saw this coming. Perhaps they may make other genres.
