Warface, Crytek's free-to-play online shooter, has reached the milestone of 25 million registered users. The fragfest launched in April 2012 in Russia, followed by European and North American expansions in 2013. The big play comes later this year when the game enters open beta in China, followed by Japan and Taiwan.

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli voiced his appreciation on Twitter this morning: "Thanks to our fans and teams for your support and dedication!"
