CryEngine (usually styled as CryENGINE) is a game engine used for the first-person shooter computer game Far Cry. It was originally developed by Crytek as a technology demo for Nvidia and, when the company saw its potential, it was turned into a game.
When video cards with support for 3.0 pixel and vertex shaders were released, Crytek released version 1.2 of the engine which used some of the capabilities for better graphics.
Later the company developed CryEngine version 1.3, which added support for HDR lighting.
The engine has been licensed to NCsoft for their MMORPG, Aion: Tower of Eternity.[1]
On March 30, 2006, Ubisoft acquired all intellectual property rights to the Far Cry franchise and a perpetual license to use the Far Cry edition of CryENGINE[2].
