Crytek now a part of TIGA

Founded in 1999 by the Yerli brothers, Crytek entered the UK market ten years later and since then has set-up shop at their Berlin HQ, Budapest, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and even in Seoul, Korea. They’re particularly known for their powerful CryEngine and the visually-stunning Crysis, which now looks forward to its sequel. Today marks another important day for the developer as they announce that they are now part of The Independent Game developers Association, also known as TIGA.

“We are joining TIGA because we feel it is important to be part of the UK community and support TIGA in its mission to make the UK the best place in the world to do games business,” said Karl Hilton, Managing Director of Crytek UK. “Crytek UK fully supports TIGA’s campaign to gain Games Tax Relief for the UK games development industry to enable us to remain competitive in the international marketplace.”

In addition to joining the cause, Crytek is also keen on working with the academic institutions affiliated with TIGA, giving students free access to the CryEngine, which will help hone their skills as they pursue careers in the industry.
