Autodesk announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Kynogon SA, the privately held maker of Kynapse artificial intelligence middleware that is currently being used to develop more than 65 AAA game titles, including Alone in the Dark 5, Fable 2 and The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.

Kynogon announced that it has joined Epic Games’ Integrated Partners Program (IPP) for Unreal Engine 3, as its Kynapse A.I. middleware solution is now fully integrated with the Unreal Engine 3 and is available for licensing.

Kynogon announced that Spark Unlimited, known for Call of Duty: Finest Hour, has signed its AI middleware to be used in Spark's recently announced first-person shooter Fall of Liberty, and a second unannounced title currently in production.
