Our next release will be the Crysis 2 Editor, this is for those of you who want to create content for Crysis 2. In August 2011, we will launch our Free CryENGINE SDK for all of you who want to create totally new content on CryENGINE 3. If you just want to make fun, free projects, you can do that free of charge. If you want to try and commercialise your game, we'll be here to help you with that.

Faith restored in Crytek, maybe not completely but this is a good step towards rebuilding some of the (butt) hurt feelings the PC community felt at the release of the game.
Encrypted game files really made me think they were putting the smack down on any form of tweaking or modding of the game.
There probably won't be a huge community supporting Crysis 2 for modding though, unless someone masterfully creates an engaging multiplayer mod beyond the team deathmatch included. Even then the cheaters and hackers have pretty much ruined the game. Will they be releasing dedicated server files too or is the editor only intended for single player modding?
This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.
