Entropia Universe(MMO) To Use CryEngine 2

Friday, July 27, 2007 6:30:41 PM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00)

Entropia Universe, the safest virtual world utilizing a real cash economy, has signed a license agreement to use the stunning high-tech game engine CryENGINE 2, from German developer Crytek, creators of “Far Cry” and upcoming “Crysis.”

This will make Entropia Universe the closest-to-reality looking massively multiplayer online game ever seen. The transition to an Entropia Universe platform built around this new technology is expected to be finished by mid-2008, and will be available to all Entropia Universe partners.

Creator MindArk PE AB’s CEO Jan Welter Timkrans explains, “The upgrade of Entropia Universe will be built around the spectacular features supplied by CryENGINE 2, offering a complete and immersive experience to Entropia participants. It will create synergies between the proven and safe Real Cash Economy backbone, the Entropia storyline with colonists fighting to establish a new world, and the very life-like visuals supplied from CryENGINE 2.” He continues, “When we saw what the engine was capable of, we immediately understood that it would be perfect for Entropia, as both MindArk and Crytek are pioneers in their respective fields.”

Avni Yerli, Crytek’s Managing Director, says, “We are thrilled to have been chosen by such a well regarded and successful industry leader as MindArk to be their future engine provider for Entropia Universe. We think the combination of our CryENGINE 2 technology and their extremely popular virtual playground will result in a new kind of rich and immersive experience that has not been possible until now. It will also expose a wide new audience to the stunningly realistic graphics, environmental physics and believable animations which are made possible by the award winning CryENGINE 2 together with some of the most recent advances in PC hardware and operating systems.”

TEST POST: Shooter returns for more feral fun in the sun

Friday 20 July 2007


Ubisoft has finally officially confirmed that Far Cry 2 is in the works and, like its predecessor, it looks set to be another sun-baked shoot out. While the original Far Cry was set on a lush tropical paradise, judging by the game's newly launched teaser site the sequel looks to be moving to a much more arid location.

The only other details released at this stage are that the game is currently scheduled for release on PC in Spring 2008 and is being developed at Ubisoft's Montreal studio.

We speculated some time ago that the new Far Cry would be set in Mali and the image behind the game's logo (below) certainly has a distinctive African vibe. So, we're happy to stick with Mali until Ubisoft tells us different. Certainly the desert, the savannah and all the dangers associated with them would make for an interesting backdrop to the action.

We'll bring you more news as it appears from the heat haze.

Big Screen, Main Screen
