Also, I'm still surprised they're using Cryengine. I've worked with it and the base engine is an outright pain in the arse to work with for open world games. You gotta do some serious finagling on your end to get it to work. And it's just overall not very well optimized for it out of the box (definitely wasn't back when they started over a year ago iirc).

afaik many of them are former CryTek staff, they probably use it because they were comfortable with that and learning a different engine would take time/create additional costs

True.  And Unreal Engine 4 wasn't out yet, so it was Cryengine or the aging Unreal Engine 3, with the latter not being terribly user friendly either.  Anyway, I will say that Cryengine is a good engine if you are targeting highly realistic environments, so that worked out well for them.
