Crytek reveals Warface

Frankfurt (Germany) / Seoul (South-Korea), 25th November 2010 – Crytek today revealed details about its first online FPS Warface and released first images. The military shooter in its near future setting offers a cinematic experience with next gen visuals, AI and physics based on Crytek’s proprietary CryENGINE® 3 game development solution. Warface provides gamers with a constantly updated extensive PVE universe full of dramatic multiplayer co-op missions, a full set of class based PVP and will be available for PC. This new Crytek IP is especially dedicated to the Korean and other Asian markets and is co-produced by Crytek Seoul. Warface is supported by a free-to-play business model.

“Our passion is to always deliver the best gaming experience possible. That’s why we opened our Crytek Seoul office in 2008 which today enables us to offer a game that is tailored to suit its market. We’re excited to debut with Warface in South Korea and to deliver a compelling and truly unique experience soon.” said Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek

“Crytek’s proven pedigree with its multi-award winning AAA FPS games combined with our own cutting-edge technology CryENGINE® 3 and our dedicated team of experts makes us confident Warface will revolutionize the genre and become the next generation in online FPS.” added Yohan Kim, Managing Director of Crytek Seoul.

Crytek has revealed details about its first online First-Person Shooter (FPS), Warface, and now released the first official images. The military shooter in its near future setting offers a cinematic experience with ‘next gen’ visuals, AI and physics based on Crytek’s proprietary CryENGINE 3 game development solution.
Warface is promising to provide gamers with a constantly updated extensive player-versus-enemy (PVE) universe full of dramatic multiplayer co-op missions and a full set of class based player-versus-player (PVP). This new Crytek IP is especially dedicated to the Korean and other Asian markets and is co-produced by Crytek Seoul.
“Our passion is to always deliver the best gaming experience possible. That’s why we opened our Crytek Seoul office in 2008 which today enables us to offer a game that is tailored to suit its market.

Warface will be supported by a free-to-play business model, and will be available exclusively for PC. No details have yet been discussed about the possibility of Warface being available in European or North American markets, but at this point in time it’s looking unlikely. Electronic Theatre will of course keep you updated with all the latest details on Warface, and other forthcoming releases from Cytek.

Korea only? Fail. Sounds like the same thing they did with Counterstrike Online.

free netcode test?


They could make money if upgrades and crap like that work along the lines of microtransactions...

I thought the same thing..

Here guys, (crytek seoul) take crysis 2 multiplayer and change the maps and some skins and make it free to play. We can use this to perfect the netcode for our other CryEngine3 based games.

They have the proper internet infrastructure to handle it, and we simply don't.

Very likely.

Even without the reference I think it's a passable name. It's not like it's representing a high art game, so I don't think the title needs to be anything but catchy.

The game itself however, as it's been said, does indeed look just like any of the other big military shooters around right now.
