CryEngine

CryEngine (stylized as CRYENGINE) is a <a href="/facts/Game_engine/lojx7lTG">game engine</a> designed by the <a href="/facts/Germany/paluuWBX">German</a> game developer <a href="/facts/Crytek/A08RTm0W">Crytek</a>. It has been used in all of their titles with the initial version being used in <a href="/facts/Far_Cry_(video_game)/jolPfojb">Far Cry</a>, and continues to be updated to support new consoles and hardware for their games. It has also been used for many third-party games under Crytek's licensing scheme, including <a href="/facts/Sniper:_Ghost_Warrior_2/jEo57xLg">Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2</a> and <a href="/facts/Snow_(2019_video_game)/Wzbkhn3D">SNOW</a>. <a href="/facts/Warhorse_Studios/RkupVvDw">Warhorse Studios</a> uses a modified version of the engine for their medieval RPG <a href="/facts/Kingdom_Come:_Deliverance/1kXzswzB">Kingdom Come: Deliverance</a>. <a href="/facts/Ubisoft/Pnw08RvF">Ubisoft</a> maintains an in-house, heavily modified version of CryEngine from the original Far Cry called <a href="/facts/Ubisoft/Pnw08RvF">Dunia</a>, which is used in their later iterations of the Far Cry series. The Dunia engine would in turn be further modified and used in games such as <a href="/facts/The_Crew_2/A4YGU9PG">The Crew 2</a>.
According to various anonymous reports in April 2015, CryEngine was licensed to Amazon for $50–70 million. Consequently, in February 2016, Amazon released its own reworked and extended version of CryEngine under the name of <a href="/facts/Amazon_Lumberyard/YFwU36wE">Amazon Lumberyard</a>. In June 2021, through Amazon Lumberyard, the open-source <a href="/facts/Open_3D_Engine/sP43r4mY">Open 3D Engine</a> is based on CryEngine.
