Amazon Lumberyard is a now-superseded freeware cross-platform game engine developed by Amazon and based on CryEngine (initially released in 2002), which was licensed from Crytek in 2015.[4][5][6] In July 2021, Amazon and the Linux Foundation announced that parts of the engine would be used to create a new open source game engine called Open 3D Engine, which would replace it. A new Open 3D Foundation, run by the Linux Foundation, will manage the new engine, which will be licensed under the open source Apache 2.0 license.[7] [8] The new engine is reportedly partially based on Lumberyard but with many parts rewritten, and is considered a new engine.[9][10][8]

It continues some of the best features and code from Lumberyard, but is its own full rewrite and independent engine. I'd also say O3DE and Godot seem to target different audiences - AAA, vs small studio & indie" (Tweet). Archived from the original on July 9, 2021. Retrieved July 26, 2021 – via Twitter.
