Crytek and DeNA partner for F2P mobile game The Collectables
Crytek, a company best known for graphically stunning first-person shooters, is joining forces with DeNA to join the free-to-play mobile game space with The Collectables.
Using a modified version of the Crytek engine, The Collectables is what you'd hope for from a Crytek game: "intense combat, extreme gunfights, 3D battlefields and classic larger-than-life action heroes to bring players an unparalleled mobile game experience." Those who pre-order the game will receive access to an in-game character equipped with special limited-time-only gear.
There's currently no word on when The Collectables should debut, though Crytek and DeNA hope to have it out at some point during 2014.
