It will make use of Raknet to include features like game object replication, NAT traversal, and patching. In a statement, Terminal Reality sales and marketing VP Joe Kreiner said the studio remains committed to improving its tools. "With the inclusion of RakNet, our developers can create multiplayer experiences that feature the smoothest and most effective technologies available," he said. "We are pleased to welcome RakNet to the Infernal Engine family and will continue to invest heavily in our technology throughout 2010."
