Korean game development firm Reloaded Studios has announced that they have gotten into a licensing agreement with Crytek. Reloaded will make use of the award winning CryENGINE 2 middleware to build up their new action strategy massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG).
Ki-Yong Cho, CEO, Reloaded Studios says, “Our technology team carefully reviewed and analyzed both the features and limitations of all of the major game engines and middleware solutions which are currently available to license, before making our choice. No other engine came close to offering the dynamic features, developer friendly tools, or provided anything near the visual quality of the CryENGINE 2. We felt it was extremely important when our game is eventually released that it will still be able to stand apart from all other titles, either currently existing or presently in development, in what is now already a very competitive market. We felt only the CryENGINE 2 could support the dynamic content and massive landscapes we intend to build, let alone do justice to the unique art style we plan on bringing to our MMO. Licensing the CryENGINE 2 was an obvious and unanimous choice.”
Faruk Yerli, Managing Director, Crytek comments, “We are really looking forward to working together with Reloaded Studios on this exciting new game development. The experienced team that Reloaded Studios has brought together will ensure they have the talent and resources to create a blockbuster hit with this title. When we saw the stunning concept visuals and exciting game design ideas they shared with us we immediately knew that what they have planned will be a true next-generation MMORPG, and become the kind of game which will set the visual and game play standards against which future MMO‘s will be judged.”
Reloaded Studios has not released any details about the story of the MMORPG that will use the CryENGINE 2 neither have they said anything about the release dates.
