Crytek’s free-to-play shooter Warface racks up 5 million Russian players

25 November 2012

Crytek’s free-to-play shooter Warface has taken off in Russia, attracting over five million users so far.

The “near-future” military shooter had already racked up 2 million users in Russia as of July this year, and now have expanded that impressive player base to 5 million.

The multiplayer FPS is powered by CryEngine 3, and features both co-operative missions and class based PvP deathmatches.

According to Crytek, the Russians rated it the best online game in Russia in their Runet Awards – a contest which has been running since 2004.

While the game is not yet available in the West, Crytek have confirmed that the game will be coming to the US, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. For us South Africans the European release will probably be our best chance to get in on the action – and a Crytek made free-to-play multiplayer FPS is definitely something to be excited about.
