Wargaming and Ukrainian developers Frag Lab are working on a "next generation" free-to-play shooter, the Belarusian game developer responsible for the hit World of War series has announced.
According to Frag Lab CEO Maxim Dembik, the Wargaming team was "the obvious choice" as a publishing partner, given its enormous success in the competitive free-to-play sphere. "When Frag Lab approached us with their vision of what they wanted to develop, we felt that it perfectly matched our core values, and their passion was palpable," Wargaming product director Shahzad Khan added.
"We knew by combining their experience working on a successful shooter with our unrivaled free-to-play expertise, together we could bring this vision to life," Khan concluded. Their yet unnamed online shooter will be power by the Amazon Lumberyard game engine, based on Crytek's own CryEngine.
The Far Cry engine is not the only thing that the new title has in common with Crytek as Frag Lab was established in 2017 by veterans from the Crysis series, Battlefield 2, and free-to-play shooter Warface.
