Crytek Senior Development Manager Katharina Hautz Joins Rovio Stockholm
New Year, new you is definitely the case, as VG247 have reported that Crytek Senior Development Manager Katharina Hautz has made the jump to Rovio Stockholm, where she will work on a top secret project. Hautz was previously one of the management leads on Crysis 3, also working on Crysis 2 and she was at Crytek for five years.
The new project that she is set to join is yet-to-be revealed, but we have been told that we will get to see the game in action later this year. Rovio have made some big moves in launching their Stockholm arm, hiring ex-EA Easy Studio General Manager Oskar Burman and ex-Dice Developer Patrick Liu. It will be exciting to see what these creative and managerial talents can create for Rovio.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
