Crysis Developer Working on New AAA Game with Improbable

Crytek, known for Crysis and Hunt: Showdown, have announced they are partnering with Improbable for a new "AAA game" that will be using the Cryengine and SpatialOS.

Crytek is limiting details for now but stated the company is working closely after Unity's change to its Terms and Service made it incompatible with SpatialOS due to revoked licenses. SpatialOS is a cloud platform for real-time multiplayer games and is currently being used for a Cryengine game that features 1,000 player battle-royale fights called Mavericks: Proving Grounds.

Improbable’s SpatialOS – a cloud platform for real-time multiplayer games – provides solutions to common technical and production changes while creating, iterating on, and hosting multiplayer games. Mavericks will be the world’s only persistent, living-world, Battle Royale game, and that achievement is made possible by Improbable’s groundbreaking SpatialOS technology. As a cloud-based platform for creating multiplayer games, SpatialOS enables developers to experiment with gameplay that goes beyond the design limitations of traditional server architectures. It enables developers to build games with more players, NPCs, and gameplay system than a traditional multiplayer game.

Crytek has been working on their latest game, Hunt: Showdown, which is now available in early access on PC and coming to Xbox One.
