Giant silicon salamander Intel Corporation has just announced that it is set to buy Havok Inc, in-game physics specialist based in Dublin, Ireland.
"Havok is a proven leader in physics technology for gaming and digital content, and will become a key element of Intel's visual computing and graphics efforts," said Renee J. James, Intel's VP and general manager of Software and Solutions Group.
The acquisition, which still has a few legal issues to surpass, will see Havok become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel while its software will take more 'advantage' of Intel's technology and chips. Founded in 1998, Havok has become a very popular third-party developer which has seen its software used in games like Half-Life 2, Halo 2, BioShock, TES IV Oblivion and many more.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed but we believe Intel dug deep into its pocket for Havok.
