Rivals such as Unity, Crytek, and Unreal have huge numbers of developers by comparison. The deal with C2Fun makes sense, but it won’t be easy to lure developers to the game engine. It fits well with Maxthon’s approach to making a high-performance web browser. C2Ray was made for an always-on, seamless Web, making it easy to run online games on multiple platforms and operating systems.

Maxthon chose to team up with C2Fun because the C2Ray engine was made to run online games on web browsers without giant plug-ins or downloads. This is the first part of our gaming strategy that will roll out this year.” “In our own testing, it’s pretty slick,” Mattson said. Maxthon wants to take the feedback from Original Blood and use it to improve overall performance.

Maxthon’s service will include country-specific game portals with a range of casual and hardcore games. It’s the first of a number that will be available on the Maxthon web browser over time. Gamers interested in testing this new technology can go to and try out Maxthon’s first title, Original Blood - a free-to-play 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game where werewolves and vampires battle against humans. If you’ve ever had a browser crash on you during a game or a multiwindow session, you’ll come to appreciate memory management. It is also more reliable since memory-management technology was built into the browser from the start. That enables them to play different games at the same time. Mattson said that the Maxthon cloud browser has carved out a niche among gamers because it enables them to sign into as many as five separate accounts simultaneously.
