In a Gamescom interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Saber Interactive CCO Tim Willits revealed that the company has "no real development in North America anymore," with only publishing operations continuing in the region, while game development occurs at a host of global subsidiaries."We are not afraid of any territories," Willits said.

It ends with the remaster's new key...
