History

This image illustrates the development history of “CryEngine” game engines family

CryEngine2 was first licensed out to French company IMAGTP who specializes in architectural and urban-planning communication. The purpose of licensing the engine was to create a program to allow clients to see exactly what a building or other structure would look like before any actual building was undertaken.

As of March 7, Simpson Studios, a new development studio, has licensed CryEngine2 out to use on a Massively Multiplayer Virtual World (MMVW) that takes place on a terraformed Mars.[1]

On May 11, 2007 Crytek announced that they would be using the engine to create a game based on their new “intellectual property”. It is also confirmed that it will not be a part of Crysis and in fact may not even be a first person shooter.

On September 17, 2007, Ringling College of Art & Design became the first higher education institution in the world to license CryEngine2 for educational purposes.
