Crytek has confirmed today that they are bringing their CryEngine technology to Nintendo's next-generation console, the Wii U.
In fact, according to the company's CEO Cevat Yerli, the CryEngine-built software in the Wii U is already "close to fully running" on the console.
"Crytek’s support for Wii U is definitely going to happen,” says Yerli in an interview with Develop. "We aren't showing it but we are pretty much running it already," he added.
He suggested that Crytek will be taking a "more aggressive business approach" with CryEngine 3 to support other platforms.
“We are expanding in many ways, and some of that is more announced than others. Kinect is major driver for future platforms as well, so Kinect support is important. Having basic Kinect support in the CryEngine is one thing, but I'm talking about really supporting it deeply. CryEngine is going to have deep support.
“Then there are other efforts towards supporting mobile and tablets, which we can only say we are working on. How far we have gone and what we mean is something I can't say more about now.”
Nintendo unveiled Wii U at last week's Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is slated to arrive sometime in 2012.
