Reloaded Studios Chooses CryENGINE 2(R) for Their First Original MMO Title


FRANKFURT, Germany and SEOUL, Korea, September 14 /PRNewswire/ --     Reloaded Studios, a recently formed Korean game development company,
today announce that they have entered into a licensing agreement with Crytek,
the German developers of the highly anticipated upcoming release, Crysis, for
use of the award winning CryENGINE 2 middleware to develop their new Action
Strategy MMORPG.

"Our technology team carefully reviewed and analyzed both the features
and limitations of all of the major game engines and middleware solutions
which are currently available to license, before making our choice." says
Ki-Yong Cho, Chief Executive Officer of Reloaded Studios. "No other engine
came close to offering the dynamic features, developer friendly tools, or
provided anything near the visual quality of the CryENGINE 2. We felt it was
extremely important when our game is eventually released that it will still
be able to stand apart from all other titles, either currently existing or
presently in development, in what is now already a very competitive market.
We felt only the CryENGINE 2 could support the dynamic content and massive
landscapes we intend to build, let alone do justice to the unique art style
we plan on bringing to our MMO. Licensing the CryENGINE 2 was an obvious and
unanimous choice."

"We are really looking forward to working together with Reloaded Studios
on this exciting new game development." said Faruk Yerli, managing director
of Crytek, "The experienced team that Reloaded Studios has brought together
will ensure they have the talent and resources to create a blockbuster hit
with this title. When we saw the stunning concept visuals and exciting game
design ideas they shared with us we immediately knew that what they have
planned will be a true next-generation MMORPG, and become the kind of game
which will set the visual and game play standards against which future MMO's
will be judged."
