Crytek hunting for developer who can bring CryEngine to Linux

DNP Crytek hiring Linux dev, hopes to make your penguin box weep

The penguin has been getting awfully cozy with game developers lately. This time it’s with the company known to make GPUs melt at the faintest whisper of its name: Crytek. According to a recent job listing, the German shooter shop is looking for a programmer to work on a Linux version of CryEngine. Of course, you need to relocate to Deutschland and have a few years experience in software development under your belt. Seeing another major PC studio devoting resources to the open-source OS only increases the growing momentum for Valve’s Steambox ecosystem of choice. To answer the eternal question, it appears that yes, even the Tux can run Crysis.

Crytek’s CryEngine 3 supports PlayStation 4, surprises no one

Crytek's CryEngine 3 supports PS4, surprises no one

Crytek has a reputation for pushing the limits of hardware with CryEngine — witness the will-it-run-Crysis jokes — so it’s only logical that the company would leap on new consoles with enthusiasm. Sure enough, the company has followed up talk of Xbox One support in CryEngine 3 with word that its extra-pretty engine will also run on the PlayStation 4. Crytek isn’t saying which developers will use the code, although cross-platform games make sense when the PS4, Xbox One and PCs share the same basic x86 architecture. We may hear bit more about early partners next week.
