Just because MechWarrior: Online will be free-to-play doesn't mean it can't have high production quality. Crytek announced today that the upcoming mech combat game will utilize CryEngine 3.
"Here at Crytek we are incredibly proud that Piranha Games have selected CryENGINE®3 to power their forthcoming Mechwarrior Online game," says Carl Jones, Director of Global Business Development for CryENGINE. "2012 will see a new segment in the games industry – as free-to-play games will step up to offer true AAA quality to gamers. Both Piranha and Crytek believe in the potential of this market and we look forward to helping them achieve their vision for an amazing game experience. With our own game, Warface and more than 20 of our current CryENGINE licensees also working on AAA quality, free-to-play games, CryENGINE is becoming the technology of choice for the highest quality online games."
MechWarrior Online allows players to hop into the cockpit of their own BattleMech. Their mech can be upgraded and tweaked over time to fit their playstyle. They'll fight other players online in a grand war for territory.
You can register for MWO's beta at the game's website.
