Original Nexuiz designer Forest ‘LordHavoc’ Hale worked with Illfonic on the new version, many of the GPL contributors forked the project into a new game Xonotic, while Lee Vermeulen moved towards Capsized development.
In mid-2010 it was announced that a new XBLA, PSN, and Steam downloadable remake of Nexuiz would be done from the ground up by IllFonic using Crytek’s CryENGINE3 game engine. Since its release it has been downloaded over 6 million times, and is included with many Linux distributions. Development continued with many online contributors over the years, with version 2.5 released in October of 2009. The first version of the game was released in 2005. The engine that powered Nexuiz was Forest Hale’s Darkplaces engine. The goal of the project was to create a high quality first person shooter that could be played freely across all platforms in one package: PC, Mac, and Linux.

In the meantime, Illfonic continues to pursue its game, and Brungardt told Polygon of its plans, provided Nexuiz's future can be sorted out. Not only was the game excluded from purchase, but the developer's "main contacts are gone," he said.

Though Illfonic was interested in bidding on the publishing rights, the structure of the sale bundled Nexuiz in a lot with other licensed software like Costume Quest, Supreme Commander and nearly 40 other intellectual properties.Īs the months have gone on, the situation has become more complex for Illfonic. So its one that we don't have access too." Its the server that sits between our title server (which holds the stats) and Xbox Live. "The only way we can get the servers back up is if we were to take over control of the publishing rights.

Illfonic entered into a licensing agreement with THQ Partners in 2011, which granted THQ timed exclusive rights to publish Nexuiz. "Sounds like it could be owed royalties."
"The only info I was able to obtain was the buyer passed because of the cure costs being too high," Brungardt said.

Polygon spoke to Chuck Brungardt, president of Illfonic, to find out the implications of that removal and what the developer has learned about its fast-paced first-person shooter available on Xbox 360 and Windows PC. In the April 22 bankruptcy court documents, all references to Nexuiz were marked as "removed" from the proposed sale. When Nordic Games acquired "substantially all" of THQ's remaining intellectual property last week, the more than 150-title portfolio excluded Nexuiz, a game whose future remains unclear even to its developer.
