Crytek's CryENGINE® 3 Already Primed for Xbox One Development / State-of-the-art technology ensures developers are ready for the future of gaming now

Frankfurt am Main (ots) - Videogame developer and publisher Crytek
GmbH has welcomed the unveiling of Xbox One, the all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, reiterating that their CryENGINE
3 technology is equipped to start creating software for the system
now.

Crytek recently became an officially licensed provider of
middleware and tools for Xbox One, and will support the platform as
well as equipping CryENGINE 3 licensees with the advanced toolset
required to achieve their own games for the system.

"We offered assurances over two years ago that CryENGINE 3 was
ready for the next generation of consoles, and time has revealed that
promise to be true," said Carl Jones, Director of Global Business
Development at Crytek. "As developers begin to create new games for
Xbox One, our technology and unparalleled support will ensure
CryENGINE 3 users remain at the forefront of the industry now and
well into the future."

Crytek's CryENGINE 3 is used by licensees around the world to
create blockbuster hits and popular online games, and is the first
all-in- one development solution that provides multi-award winning
graphics, and all necessary game systems and tools, out of the box.
