The mysterious new shooter from original Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock is powered by CryEngine 3, the studio has revealed.

It confirmed the news in a post on its Twitter feed, following a recruitment call on its website referencing Crytek's engine.

"Yes, its all true. We are using CryEngine 3 for our next title, and yes, it's going to be awesome," read the message.

"I can't wait till we share the concepts of that game, because there is some gameplay in there I've never played before."
