Entropia Universe Adopts CryEngine2 News

CryTek's Crysis engine provides the power behind the MMO with a lot at stake...
Entropia Universe, an MMO with a real-world economy, will feature slightly more "real world" visuals in the future, with confirmation that MindArk have licensed CryTek's CryEngine2 for use in the game.
Set to make its debut in the forthcoming EA Games title Crysis, the adoption of the technology will result in Entropia Universe offering the most realistic looking MMO to date when it's fully implemented by mid 2008.
Creator MindArk PE AB's CEO Jan Welter Timkrans explains, "The upgrade of Entropia Universe will be built around the spectacular features supplied by CryENGINE 2(R), offering a complete and immersive experience to Entropia participants. It will create synergies between the proven and safe Real Cash Economy backbone, the Entropia storyline with colonists fighting to establish a new world, and the very life-like visuals supplied from CryENGINE 2(R)." He continues, "When we saw what the engine was capable of, we immediately understood that it would be perfect for Entropia, as both MindArk and Crytek are pioneers in their respective fields."
Avni Yerli, Crytek's Managing Director says, "We are thrilled to have been chosen by such a well regarded and successful industry leader as MindArk to be their future engine provider for Entropia Universe. We think the combination of our CryENGINE 2(R) technology and MindArk's extremely popular virtual playground will result in a new kind of rich and immersive experience that has not been possible until now. It will also expose a wide new audience to the stunningly realistic graphics, environmental physics and believable animations which are made possible by the award winning CryENGINE 2(R) together with some of the most recent advances in PC hardware and operating systems."
