The official developer conference of Gamescom appropriately called Devcom has made a new strategic business partnership with Crytek. This year-long agreement will see Crytek become a trusted partner for Devcom, join the advisory board, and collaborate on a range of exclusive game development tutorials, podcasts, game streams, and more.
The new partnership between Devcom and Crytek builds on previous collaborations between the two companies. The agreement will include regular Hunt: Showdown and other Crytek game streams on Devcom’s Twitch channel.
In addition, the agreement will also include a series of exclusive game development tutorials and CryEngine Master Classes. The engine, which is Crytek’s cutting-edge 3D game development solution, will also sponsor Vertical Slice, Devcom’s bi-weekly indie games show, alongside additional collaborations.
Stephan Reichart, Managing Director at Devcom had the following to say:
Meanwhile, Avni Yerli, Managing Director at Crytek said the following about the partnership:
On a very personal level, I am very happy that we are now able to work more closely with the Hunt: Showdown team - what I think is currently the best first-person shooter in the world, in which I enjoy every week with my friends fail with a lot of fun.
In recent Crytek-related news, the company has recently showcased the PC and console enhancements of Crysis 2 Remastered. Additionally, the Crysis Remastered Trilogy was announced to join GeForce NOW alongside games like The Riftbreaker and STEINS;GATE 0.
Our new partnership with Devcom is based around our shared goals of bringing game developers together to network, share knowledge, succeed, and ultimately, make great games that push the medium forward. As an annual conference, Devcom has grown and grown, appealing to a global audience of students, game developers, and technology companies, and we were proud to act as a sponsor.
Now that Devcom has expanded to become a 365-day program to engage game developers all year round, it is the perfect time to step up our partnership to support aspiring and established developers on the global stage.
