-'''CryEngine 2''' is a [[game engine]] developed by [[Crytek]], and is the successor to [[CryEngine]], the game engine used in ''[[Far Cry]]''. CryEngine 2 is used in Crytek's game ''[[Crysis]]'', and an updated version in ''[[Crysis Warhead]]'', a side story of ''Crysis''. Also the MMORPG ''[[Entropia Universe]]'' recently upgraded its graphics to the [[CryEngine 2]].

-== History ==
-[[Image:CryEngine_family_tree.png|thumb|400px|This image illustrate the development history of “CryEngine” game engines family]]
-CryEngine2 was first licensed out to French company IMAGTP who specializes in architectural and urban-planning communication. The purpose of licensing the engine was to create a program to allow clients to see exactly what a building or other structure would look like before any actual building was undertaken.
-As of March 7, Simpson Studios, a new development studio, has licensed CryEngine2 out to use on a Massively Multiplayer Virtual World (MMVW) that takes place on a terraformed Mars.<ref>[http://www.crytek.com/news/story.php?id=1502&p=0&n=news&t=14 Welcome to Crytek<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-On May 11, 2007 Crytek announced that they would be using the engine to create a game based on their new [[intellectual property]]. It is also confirmed that it will not be a part of ''[[Crysis]]'' and in fact may not even be a first person shooter.
-On September 17, 2007, Ringling College of Art & Design became the first higher education institution in the world to license CryEngine2 for educational purposes.
