Crytek Black Sea (formerly: Black Sea Studios) is a game software company based in the Bulgarian capital Sofia . The company was founded in 2001 by Vesselin Handjiev, who is known as the co-developer of the computer strategy game Tzar , and in December of the same year employed 15 people. The company's best-known game so far, Knights of Honor , which was set in the Middle Ages and was published in 2004, emerged from a cooperation with the publisher Sunflowers .
The German version of WorldShift went on sale on May 8, 2008. In addition, a limited collector's edition with bonus material for WorldShift has been released. The bonus material consists of an audio CD with the soundtrack and a book with previously unpublished illustrations.
In July 2008, the Black Sea Studios were taken over by the German developer Crytek and have been operating under the name Crytek Black Sea ever since.
On March 7, 2017, the studio was bought by SEGA and continues to operate under the name Creative Assembly Sofia.
