Dambuster Studios was founded on 30 July 2014. Its predecessor, Crytek UK (formerly known as Free Radical Design), was a subsidiary of Crytek. Crytek in 2014 suffered a financial crisis due to internal structuring, and ceased paying wages to the staff members at the UK studio. The company at that time was working on Homefront: The Revolution, but Crytek decided to sell the franchise to Deep Silver and closed down the studio. Most of its staff members were moved to Dambuster Studios, a studio founded by Deep Silver, in accordance with British law,[2] to continue Homefront: The Revolution's development. Dambuster Studios is the third Deep Silver in-house development team, following Volition and Fishlabs.[3][4] By August 2019, Dambuster had taken over the development on Dead Island 2 from Sumo Digital,[5] and had 140 employees.[6]
