CryEngine 3 announced

March 11th, 2009 Posted in Business, Hardware


CryTek has announced CryEngine 3, a new engine for regular games and MMOs alike and that’s easily scalable and supports both PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The developer is also touting the new engine is geared towards the next generation of consoles, i.e. beyond PS3 and Xbox 360.

CryTek’s previous engine, the CryEngine 2, was successfully used in Crysis and Crysis: Warhead. The developer did not mention any games that would use the new engine, but one can always count on Crysis 2. More details on CryEngine 3 will be available at GDC.

Considering that only the highest of the high-end PCs have been able to fully appreciate CryEngine 2, hopefully this time the new engine scales better and runs better or low end mid-end hardware.
