With CRYENGINE, we have a simple goal: To create the most powerful game engine in the industry, and to give creators all across the globe the tools to harness this power to create world-class entertainment experiences.
A New Sandbox Editor: We have been focusing heavily on Editor workflow, and with this first version we are aiming to provide solid foundations to our new User Experience. If you were familiar with the old Sandbox Editor, then don't worry, all the features are still available although many things have been redesigned to fit in better with the overall vision. This first version still includes some legacy tools, but we are planning to upgrade the entire workflow to match our new User Experience standards. We are confident that this new interface gives you a more intuitive window into the powerful tools of CRYENGINE and we are eagerly awaiting your feedback.
CE# Framework: A new API that allows developers who are familiar with C# to start scripting straight away in CRYENGINE V. While C++ is the industry standard in the traditional high-end game development space, it can seem daunting to aspiring developers who are just starting out. So to this end we are introducing a C# layer to CRYENGINE that allows a wider range of programmers to achieve their vision.
DirectX 12 Support: Utilize the latest branch of DirectX to take greater control of hardware resources. Introduced alongside Windows 10, Microsoft’s new DirectX 12 low-level API allows developers to get tomorrow’s performance out of today’s hardware. Thanks to CRYENGINE V’s newly introduced DirectX 12 support, developers will be able to work close to the metal getting the most out of CRYENGINE’s famous performance and state-of-the-art visuals.
Reworked Low Overhead Renderer: Significantly increases the performance of today’s hardware in graphically intensive applications. CRYENGINE V comes with a completely redesigned and rewritten core Renderer that allows submitting draw calls with minimal overhead. The new Renderer architecture enables us to get the most out of modern graphics APIs like DX12 and also greatly improves performance under DX11.
Advanced Volumetric Cloud System: Optimized for VR to give clouds full 3D spatial rendering for higher quality with a minimal performance hit. In CRYENGINE V we introduce an entirely new cloud system that enables users to create stunning volumetric clouds that integrate seamlessly into CRYENGINE’s advanced lighting models and with performance that can even fulfill the strict frame time requirements of VR apps.
New Particle System: Create stunning real-time fluid effects, handled almost entirely on the GPU. With a new Particle System that will optionally offload particle management and processing to the GPU, developers can achieve significantly higher particle throughput for expensive effects, further improving performance while building stunning worlds for gamers to explore.
FMOD Studio Support: Tight implementation of yet another professional Audio middleware that allows for greater flexibility in Audio middleware selection.
Improved Profiling: Profile your code with the power of advanced external profilers such as Brofiler (shipped with CRYENGINE), PIX, GPA and/or VTunes.
Visual Studio 2015 Support: CRYENGINE is now compliant with the MSVC 11.0, 12.0 and 14.0 compiler.

🚀Unreal Engine 5
I am developing the game with Unreal Engine 5, that allows to reach next-gen graphics through cutting-edge features such as:
- Lumen Global Illumination: dynamic lighting that adapts to your every move, creating stunningly realistic scenes.
- Nanite Virtualized Geometry: a system which allows to obtain an incredible level of detail for every object in the game. Nanite to obtain an incredible level of detail without sacrificing performance.
🌟About my new game
This is going to be a cosmic-horror game focused on story and mystery, with realistic graphics and an immersive atmosphere.
In this chilling adventure you will have to face the inevitability of fate while exploring disturbing places, finding clues and studying ancient mysteries.
Like my previous games, The Land of Pain and The Alien Cube, the game is inspired by Lovecraftian literature.
🔮 Why Lovecraft?
H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror legacy continues to captivate and terrify. His influence echoes through the ages, inspiring authors, artists and game developers from all over the world. Lovecraft’s macabre imagination has been inspiring for my works too, in particular his ability to place emphasis on the terror of the unknowable and incomprehensible.

CE5 is not really the 5th iteration of the engine. It's more like CE3 with slightly newer refactored Sandbox editor and just a couple of new features. I would be brave enough to call it a CE3 beta right now. Because their actual CE3 wasn't so much different from CE2.
In real world their so-called "CryEngine 3" (which they first released in 2009) would be just CryEngine 2.5. Adapted for consoles.
The next complete version would be CE3, but they never finished it. Every engine after CE2 is always, every time, an unfinished semi-working product. So right now they are in fact still working on what I would call a "proper CE3" beta stage.
If you know what I mean.
