Crytek may not have any current plans for its newly acquired talent at Vigil Games to work on a new Darksiders game, but they'd very much like to acquire the license anyway.
Posting on Twitter, Crytek USA and former Vigil Games chief David Adams wrote that the company is going to bid on the Darksiders intellectual property.
"Going to bid on Darksiders IP," wrote Adams. "Put 7 years of heart and soul into that franchise, and I think it belongs at home with its creators." He added that he felt the IP belonged in the hands of its creators.

Destructoid's Jim Sterling confirmed with Vigil co-founder Ryan Stefanelli that the company intends to create a new Darksiders game at the next opportunity—assuming they acquire the license, of course.
