Tech Shout!

Crytek, leading independent German game developer has made two huge announcements. Firstly, Crytek, the brains behind the acclaimed ‘Far Cry’ and much-awaited Crysis game titles has announced the elevation of their satellite offices in Kiev to a full development studio.

According to Faruk Yerli, Managing Director of Crytek, “Our Kiev studio has been recruiting and growing for the past year and a half. The highly talented team there has undergone an intensive training period, and in that time they have made an invaluable contribution to our production in Frankfurt.”

Secondly, Crytek officially confirmed their project which happens to be based on new original IP.

Crytek has sent in word that the studio will be deploying CryEngine2 technology for a new game title that is based around an original concept.

“Now that our CryENGINE 2 middleware has reached the point of maturity where it can be used to support both different types and styles of games, and run on multiple platforms, we thought it was the optimum time to begin work on a new project based on our own new and original intellectual property, and elevate the Kiev operation to full studio status,” Yerli added.

However, at this point of time few details are known. Although it could be possible that Crytek could be coming up with something different, rather than the First Person Shooters that was previously favored by the team. This is because Crytek’s CryENGINE 2 offers a great deal of versatility.

Crytek was always known for its graphic intense games such as Far Cry and Crysis. However, there is no confirmation whether the new game by Crytek will be for the PC platform or multi platform. We are keeping our fingers crossed, hoping that Crytek’s upcoming game title is for consoles as well as PCs.
