Nexuiz is a 2012 first-person shooter video game developed by IllFonic and published by THQ for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. It used CryEngine 3 and it is based on the original free game Nexuiz (due to the name having been sold to Nexuiz, the free game continued its development under the Xonotic name[1][2]). The servers for the Xbox 360 and PC versions were taken offline in February 2013 due to the closure of THQ.[3]
