On était un peu passés à côté, mais Ignition Entertainment a annoncé le 11 mai dernier avoir fait l'acquisition du CryEngine 3, le moteur graphique développé par Crytek Studios. Le moteur sera utilisé pour un jeu action-aventure sur Xbox 360 et PS3 en développement dans les locaux d'Ignition à Londres.

Cette annonce est pour l'instant le deuxième studio qui se lance — officiellement — dans l'achat de la troisième itération du moteur. On espère que ça leur portera plus chance qu'au seul studio ayant fait l'acquisition du CryEngine 2.

Le communiqué complet se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.
Frankfurt a. M. (Germany)/ London (United Kingdom), 11 May 2010 – Ignition Entertainment Ltd is pleased to announce today that they have licensed Crytek’s critically acclaimed CryENGINE®3. Ignition, the worldwide publisher/developer, will use CryENGINE 3 for the first game published from its London studio. This flagship title is a uniquely crafted combat action-adventure, set for release on the XBOX 360™ and PlayStation®3.

It has always been Ignition's mission to push creative and technological limits in their titles, and the London studio will continue this vision by harnessing CryENGINE 3 in their upcoming title. The combination of leading technology and recent additions to the studio management team has placed renewed focus on delivering an outstanding entertainment product.
