The Future of CryEngine
<div><p>This year, just before GDC, CryEngine released a stunning video <a href="https://www.cryengine.com/news/how-we-made-neon-noir-ray-traced-reflections-in-cryengine-and-more">Neon Noir</a> showcasing real-time raytracing in CryEngine without the need for dedicated hardware. Beyond that, they have been relatively quite about what developments are coming for the veteran game engine. Thankfully that has changed with the release of their developmental roadmap.</p>
<p>Highlights from the CryEngine <a href="https://www.cryengine.com/news/roadmap-update-is-live">blog</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Tool Optimization</strong></p>
<p>In the short term, our main focus is to increase the stability and usability of the engine. This focus is reflected on the roadmap with, for example, the new in-editor project management system coming to 5.6, along with numerous optimizations in all areas including rendering, compilation, and memory footprint. More details about the features included in 5.6 will be mentioned in the release notes. </p>
<p><strong>Schematyc & New Features</strong></p>
<p>These stabilizations and improvements pave the way for our mid to long-term ambitions which will bring exciting new features, tools, and support for additional platforms. These goals will include the rework of the Schematyc system, which will also bring a modern and modular visual scripting framework that will allow you to create your own game logic without the need to code.. The modular behavior of the visual scripting framework will enable other features to take advantage of this system, including, for example, our animation tools. </p>
<p><strong>Ray Tracing </strong></p>
<p>Of course, we will also be looking to integrate the new hardware-agnostic ray tracing technology into the engine, with the aim to make it available in CRYENGINE 5.7. If you want to know more about ray tracing in CRYENGINE, you can follow up on our latest interview with the developers creating Neon Noir, our GDC ray tracing demo. More news on the subject, just stay tuned and keep your eyes on our channels.</p>
