“Far Cry 1 was already easily moddable ages ago since launch due to Crytek releasing the SDK and level editor, the full source code means that people can make modifications and fixes to the engine,” Medeiros explained to one commenter on Twitter.

The source code for Far Cry and CryEngine uploaded to the Internet Archive are labelled as being version 1.34, suggesting that a number of patches are already included in the code. Medeiros added that the leaked code includes a 64-bit build of the Windows-only game, which was originally released in 2004.
