Crytek are planning to take the world by storm with their latest all-in-one game development solution, CryENGINE 3, which will be released at this year's GDC Expo in San Francisco. It promises to be the first ever development platform for DX9/DX10, MMO, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 that is also "truly Next-Gen-Ready" - featuring scalable computation and graphics for all major upcoming platforms.

The complete game engine is capable of creating AAA quality next-generation games, and comes with significant new features specifically designed for MMO, online, console and Next-Gen game development, and they're also throwing in the production-proven 3rd generation "What you see is what you play" CryENGINE 3 Sandbox level editor, designed for professional developers by professional developers.

Carl Jones, Director of Business Development CryENGINE continues:

“CryENGINE 3 is a revolutionary change from our previous PC-only engines – and we’re applying a similar revolution to the service we provide to developers using the software to create extraordinary games. CryENGINE 3 will set the benchmark for complete game engine solutions in performance, and services to game engine licensees and their players. We’ve been preparing a long time for CryENGINE on consoles and we’re confident that Crytek will again amaze developers at GDC.”

In case the name sounded familiar, earlier versions of CryENGINE provided the backbone for Crytek's best-seller games Crysis and Crysis Warhead, and has been licensed to major game companies worldwide, resulting in its use in various serious games simulation and training projects.

As the new CryENGINE 3 technology will be on show at GDC San Francisco 2009, we'll do our best to try and grab a look when we're in town for the event!
