Frankfurt am Main (Germany) August 21, 2013 – Crytek have ushered in a new era for their state-of-the-art CRYENGINE technology, with the launch of the new CRYENGINE; an ever-evolving technology service, with always up to date access to the latest features in CRYENGINE for commercial game licensees.

CRYENGINE users will also benefit from the coming together of Crytek’s Engine Licensing and Research & Development teams; a move designed to double the level of one-to-one care game licensees can tap into, in essence offering Crytek’s R&D as a service for developers using the new CRYENGINE.

On top of these changes, the new CRYENGINE supports development on current and next generation consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation®4, and WiiU™), alongside PC, with further platforms to be added in the near future.

Although Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse has mostly been shrouded in mystery since Nintendo Power’s reveal late last year, WayForward has been chugging away at the game’s development. That work has paid off as Pirate’s Curse will be making its playable debut at PAX Prime 2013 later this month. The title was included in Nintendo’s list of games at its PAX Prime booth.

This revelation suggests that details and media for Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse are on the way – keep your eyes peeled for updates. Last we heard, the 3DS eShop release is on track for a Fall 2013 launch.
