It was announced today that Crytek’s upcoming free-to-play shooter Warface is to be co-published by Trion Worlds.
Announced back in 2010, Warface uses CryEngine 3 bringing both co-operative and competitive multiplayer online.
Trion Worlds are best known for their 2011 MMORPG Rift, as well as the in-production End of Nations.
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said: “Trion is the company spearheading a revolution in gaming through delivering premium online games across big genres powered by a proven, cutting edge platform.”
“The combination of this platform, GFACE and Warface shows Crytek’s commitment to finding innovative new ways to bring superior gaming experiences and triple-A titles to gamers.”
“Crytek has repeatedly proven their foresight,” added Trion Worlds CEO Lars Buttler “and they are doing that again by leading the shift towards delivering high-quality, free-to-play, online games.
“We very much feel that we are kindred companies and stand strong together.”
Warface was originally only to be released in Asia, but the title is now coming to North America, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and Europe.
