Megascans is a big materials library that contains thousands of realistic, high-resolution material scans and fully scanned 3D assets.

"?Umbra melds much-loved hack-and-slash gameplay with state-of-the-art graphics, and underpins it all with a truly modern AI. Inspired by the classic Diablo 2 game, Umbra aims to deliver an intense and rich action RPG game. Personalization of your character build is free, deep and highly customizable, and many secret are hidden in the world".

"CryEngine allows us to achieve a very good looking game, managing physic, animation and particle effects. In addition of that, the "real time" orientation of the engine allow us to develop dynamic gameplay, and in combination with Kythera AI system, we can create great new gameplay situation," the developer added. "CryEngine also allows us to easily create modding tools. It will be easy for anyone to add content in our game, or even change its face totally creating a Sci-fi universe".
