A medieval fantasy title about eight warring kingdoms trying to stop a dark god from reviving? (Seriously, the possibilities for the Dragon Force IP with CA are mind boggling.)
I think DF has a devout Europe following, too.

Maybe Sega have CA working on games for the Dreamcast 2.

They need some more hands on deck doing PC ports of things. Lots of untapped potential there. I'm glad that Sega is doing okay though
Well, that didn't help make it seem any less ridiculous... but it's nice to hear that AM2 still can't fail regardless of source material.
yeah, that was the first thing that came to mind too
EDIT: Black Sea Games still independent, they bought the old one

This is how Crytek will disappear. I expect the rest of their assets to be sold off over the next few months until there's nothing left to go bankrupt.
More strategy? Yes please! CA have been pretty phenomenal, though I think Halo Wars 2 is probably the least interesting thing they've done, which is down to a combo of the Halo universe and aiming for a much simplified game that doesn't translate as well on PC imo.
I do hope some how that there is a possibility for CA to dig into Alien Isolation again too.

They were. Crytek bought Free Radical and renamed it Crytek UK but then shut it down a few years ago during the development of Homefront: Revolution. Deep Silver (the game's publisher) subsequently opened a new studio with most of the same people who worked at Crytek UK to finish work on the game. So now Crytek still has the TimeSplitters IP but none of the people from Free Radical.

Yep.
Does this mean the Crytek Moba thing is dead?
Or was the already moved in house and then silently cancelled, like The Hunt?
This is what I was thinking about as well, good to have some clarification.

Yeah I can see that game attracting the Halo faithful on consoles, but it's a by the numbers, baby's first RTS on PC riding on a franchise with a small footprint on that platform.
Would love to see some sort fo Crytek technology powering the next Total War though
Oh shit, they said next historical game will be new ground! Near future, nanosuit wars!

God, finally a modern time Total War ? Could it be ? Please god, make it so.
Pretty sure they are still developing Hunt.
It should be new ground in the sense that it's historical material CA has never tackled before.Yeah I can see that game attracting the Halo faithful on consoles, but it's a by the numbers, baby's first RTS on PC riding on a franchise with a small footprint on that platform.

The Total War design conceit is designed for formation-based combat. That hasn't really existed since the Franco-Prussian War, so that's about the most modern conflict it'll be any good for. Look at a game like Wargame - the scale and scope of the battlefield isn't anything like any Total War title.

This must be from KanColle Arcade.
KanColle, short for Kantai Collection (kantai is fleet) is a browser collection / strategy game featuring japanese WW2 ships, in girl form... They fight some dark evil aliens on sea. And yes, they wear their torpedo launcher as handbag, their massive turrets in huge rack around their waist... Of course there's an anime but its terrible but you can get the idea.
It's insanely popular over there and the game had multiple seasonal evens featuring german (kriegsmarine) italian, american and even a french ship.
Yes it's a game you collect anthropomorphised nazi and imperial ships... But that's not all. Of course it bend heavily on moe and the entire waifu collection thing has you have to marry (pay for the ring with real money) to further level your ship as she commit to serve you better, you, her commander and now husband (voice line included)
