Don't cry

Havok will provide its physics and animation tools to developers working on Wii U.

Havok Physics is arguably the most recognisable in-game physics engine — a small field, admittedly — and has powered games including Half-Life 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and more.

Managing director David Coghlan is very excited:

We are sure this license agreement will result in the creation of great interactive experiences for consumers on the Wii U platform!

Here's hoping.
