FireFall uses a heavily modified version of the Offset Engine from Offset Software that was sold to Intel in February 2008. The engine was originally built for Offset Software's FPS game Project Offset that was cancelled mid 2010 by Intel. Intel was trying to use the engine to showcase what Larrabee was capable of. The game was under development for over five years until Intel dropped the project due to the failure of Larrabee. |

Firefall features both a large, open-world cooperative campaign that can be shared with hundreds of other players as well as a competitive Multiplayer component that will incorporate features such as ladders, tournaments, clans and leagues. |
