"It is gonna be a long technical road" to update Hunt's version of CryEngine.
If anyone can upgrade the engine then Crytek can. Good news anyway. Hunt looks pretty awesome anyway, but with UE5 a thing now Cryengine beginning to look dated perhaps?

LifelessTapir has released a free game in which he basically recreated the entire Isla Nublar island from Jurassic Park in CRYENGINE.
It's Cryengine free you say? Great news, sick of all that cryengine in my dinosaur games.

Crytek has announced that CRYENGINE 5.6 is available now for all game developers. According to the team, this major new release includes over 1,000 changes to the engine.
Good job Crytek
Does mantle benefit Intel/Nvidia setups? I can't remember...
CryTek are killing it, I have a feeling that CryEngine will become the new Unreal Engine 3 for this generation.
Hopefully it will make a noticable difference like it does with UE3, pointless if it only boosts by a few measly fps.
