Crytek GmbH
Overview
Crytek is an interactive entertainment development company founded by
Cevat,
Avni and
Faruk Yerli in 1999 and is located in Germany.
In 2004 the company released its first title, the Windows game
Far Cry, published by
Ubisoft. It was followed by a series of adaptations for the consoles, such as
Far Cry: Instincts (2005) and
Far Cry: Instincts - Predator (2006). Later games such as
Far Cry: Instincts - Evolution (2006) and
Far Cry: Vengeance (2006) were developed by
Ubisoft Montreal.
In July 2004 the company announced a partnership with
Electronic Arts to create the
Crysis franchise. The game was released in November 2007. The brand name
Far Cry remains the property of Ubisoft and the upcoming
Far Cry 2 is no longer developed by Crytek.
In May 2007 the company turned its Kiev satellite offices to full development studio status and established another development studio in Budapest, Hungary.
Next to games, the company also created the proprietary and licensable CryENGINE 3D engine.
