Next Sniper and Terrorist Takedown Titles to use CryEngine 3?

City Interactive, today announced that it has licensed the state-of-the-art CryENGINE 3 from Crytek GmbH to develop two new, but unannounced FPS games for release over the next couple of years.

City has recently experienced tremendous success with the release of Sniper: Ghost Warrior, one of the year’s best-selling, first-person shooter (FPS) games. Since its launch on June 29, Sniper: Ghost Warrior has ranked among the top 5 FPS games for Xbox 360 both in the U.S. and Europe. Overall, City Interactive has experienced tremendous growth in terms of revenue, profit and market share.

“We are certainly gratified by our overall growth and are excited about the potential of our upcoming product release schedule,” said Marek Tyminski, CEO of City Interactive. “We have licensed the CryENGINE 3, one of the most advanced game engines available, as a means to further develop some soon to be announced multi-platform games that will deliver amazing gaming experiences.”

If they combined the announcement that they licensed CryEngine 3 and the fact that they sold so many Sniper: Ghost Warrior copies, it only makes sense to put two and two together and figure that they made enough money to expand and improve the franchise, right?

Then again, it could be a new Terrorist Takedown which they also have. Or it could be both. The release does say two new, but unannounced FPS games.
