Moscow, Frankfurt, 26th of June, 2008 – Troxit Services Ltd, a Cyprus company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary development company Panzar Studio, are pleased to announce that they have begun working on their brand new online fantasy game Forged by Chaos (http://www.forgedbychaos.com), which will be powered by the latest state of the art CryENGINE® 2 game engine and tools from Crytek.

Forged by Chaos will include all of the latest developments in computer games such as customizable characters, interactive environments, multi-player interaction, and enhanced game world dynamics. “For such a game as this we were searching for a modern graphics engine that was capable of utilizing DirectX 10 technology.” said CEO Vladimir Valkov. “The release of Crytek’s latest computer game – Crysis®, powered by their revolutionary CryENGINE® 2, opened new horizons for us. CryENGINE® 2 combined a number of innovative programming ideas and creative decisions to create product which eliminated a lot of the previous limitations which used to exist for game developers. We were also impressed by their handy Sandbox 2 editor, which was designed to work with very expansive and highly detailed locations, their modern dynamic lighting model, and their character animation systems, including inverse kinematics and dynamics. With all these amazing features there was no other alternative for us except to license this remarkable software product. Today we pleased to announce that we have successfully entered into the license agreement.”

“CryENGINE® 2, with it’s versatile capabilities, is the perfect fit for Troxit Services/Panzar Studio’s promising and ambitious online fantasy project Forged by Chaos.
