Crytek has confirmed it's looking into supporting Flash in its development platform CryEngine, telling Edge it will announce a "truly cross-platform solution" in the near future.

Earlier this week Epic Games announced thatUnreal Engine 3 now supports Adobe's Flash, showing off impressive footage of Unreal Tournament 3 running in a web browser.

In an email, Carl Jones, director of global business development for CryEngine, said Crytek had been thinking along similar lines to Epic for some time.

"It is an interesting approach we've been investigating as well," he told Edge. "We're developing a unifying technology to create high quality social and gaming experiences on all platforms including browser, smartphones, tablets, etc.

"We hope to be able to tell you more about it soon when we present our truly cross-platform solution."

Crytek is currently developing Warface, a free-to-play multiplayer shooter aimed at the Korean and Asian markets.

The free to play maket is, and Asia also the fastest growing gaming market and is dominated by cyber cafes so single player games are a very niche market in Asia compaired to the free to play PC/Browser games.
