If the video of Star Wars Battlefront 3 gameplay footage or Dark Obi-wan concept art made you drool over the prospect of playing the game from bankrupt Free Radical, then there may be some good news:

Free Radical Design has found financial sanctuary in German developer Crytek, who is reported to have purchased the struggling Nottingham, UK dev for an undisclosed amount (Kotaku via Gay Gamer).

What this means for the future of Battlefront 3 in unclear, but its chances for release have gotten better.
