Crytek has announced that their CryEngine 3, used to make the upcoming Crysis 2, is now available for any developer to use, much like Epic does with their Unreal Engines.

The technically impressive engine is built to support multiple platforms, including the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Not only that, but Crytek promises that the engine is flexible and technilogical enough that it could even be used to create games for the NEXT generation of consoles.

They also promise impressive customer service for those who use their engine, to quote:

“Of course, our international team of more than 20 dedicated support staff are available right now to help our licensees make the most of CryEngine 3; at their studio or at one of our support centers around the world,” Crytek director of business development Carl Jones said in a statement heralding the launch of the engine.

Currently the only game that you can play now that uses the engine is NCsoft’s critically acclaimed MMORPG Aion.

For a look at what developers will now be able to create a lot easier, check out this trailer.
