The '''Vicious Engine''' is a [[game engine]] that offers functionality for rendering, sound, networking, physics, game play scripting, and lighting. It was developed by [[Vicious Cycle Software]], and was first released in January 2005. No additional third-party libraries are required, and all [[source code]] is included. It supports [[GameCube]], [[Wii]], [[WiiWare]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], [[Xbox 360]], [[Xbox Live Arcade]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation Portable]], [[PlayStation Network]], and [[Microsoft Windows]]. The engine would become dormant as a part of the closure of Vicious Cycle Software in 2016.

== Vicious Engine 2 ==
Vicious Engine 2 (sometimes stylized as V<sup>e2</sup>) has been optimized for eighth-generation consoles and high-end [[personal computer|PCs]]. It was released on March 25, 2009, at the [[Game Developers Conference]]. It features improvements for next-generation consoles, especially the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. D3P and Vicious Cycle Software's ''[[Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard]]'' is the first retail title to use the new technology. In addition to the previous platforms, it supports PlayStation 3.
