Linux users rejoice as Crytek has confirmed that the details about the CRYENGINE Linux support will be detailed in their panel in the GDC 2014!

Crytek has outlined details of what it will be showing attendees when the GDC 2014 conference gets underway in San Francisco.

During the expo, which takes place from March 19-21, Crytek will give visitors a look at the evolution of the CRYENGINE as well as inviting them to go hands-on with free-to-play shooter "Warface" and "The Collectables"

Crytek's GDC booth will reveal for first time ever full native Linux support in the new CRYENGINE.

According to Crytek:

"The CRYENGINE all-in-one game engine is also updated with the innovative features used to recreate the stunning Roman Empire seen in Ryse - including the brand new Physically Based Shading render pipeline, which uses real-world physics simulation to create amazingly realistic lighting and materials in CRYENGINE games."

There will also be games on offer on Crytek's GDC 2014 booth, with the latest version of free online FPS "Warface" being the one in the forefront available to play. Also playable will be "The Collectables", an upcoming military strategy game for iOS and Android.

Crytek staff will also be sharing their expertise in a series of talks during GDC. From discussing narrative driven games to the rendering technology in "Ryse", a total of five presentations from Crytek employees will be taking place as part of GDC's session series. All the talks will be held in the Center's West Hall.
