Imagine if you had Crysis 2's CryENGINE3. Think you'd be able to make a game as good or better than Crysis 2? This summer the public will get their chance when Crytek makes the engine available for free.

In a letter to the modding community, Crytek CEO and president Cevat Yerli said that the Crysis 2 Editor will be released this summer. The editor will allow players to create new maps, items, and other content for Crysis 2. If you're looking to make something more ambitious, watch out for the CryENGINE SDK to arrive in August.

"We'll be giving you access to the latest, greatest version of CryENGINE 3 - the same engine we use internally, the same engine we give to our licensees, the same engine that powers Crysis 2," said Yerli. "This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC."

Yerli added that the CryENGINE SDK will receive regular updates. The modding community will also have access to documentation written by the developers of the engine.
