About

Warface: Clutch (formerly known as Warface) was a free-to-play online first-person shooter video game developed by Crytek Kiev, co-produced by Crytek Seoul, and published by My.com. The full version of the game was released on 21 October 2013 as playable in North America and Europe. The game was developed with Crytek's in-house CryEngine 3. Warface: Clutch centered around online firefights in player versus player (PvP) matches, with microtransactions allowing players to purchase weapons, equipment, and cosmetic gear.

The Xbox 360 port, which was developed by Crytek UK, was discontinued in February 2015. The console version of the game was relaunched for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018 and on the Nintendo Switch in 2020. Members of the game's development team split from Crytek Kiev in February 2019 to form a new development studio, Blackwood Games, who handled future development duties for Warface: Clutch. A tactical shooter spin-off game named Warface: Breakout was released on 26 May 2020 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Each class having its own specific combat role, with Medics reviving fallen and healing injured teammates, Engineers restoring and repairing armor and being able to revive SEDs, Riflemen providing additional ammunition, SEDs for suppressive fire and eliminating large groups of enemies in a short amount of time, and Snipers for engaging in long-range firefights.

Each class had its own unique weapons and equipment, often split into two categories. Riflemen could choose between a variety of assault rifles and light machine guns, and had the ability to distribute ammunition to themselves and other players.
