News: Crytek has listened to the myriad of requests and has revealed that Crysis is getting a remaster and a lot sooner than you think.

Crytek has announced that their popular first-person shooter Crysis is getting the remastered treatment and will be released this summer. Crysis is and was famous for being so incredibly demanding for PCs that at the time the game was originally released, there weren’t many PCs around that could run it at max settings. Fast forward to today and now Crysis Remastered is coming to Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch. Co-developed on CryEngine with Saber Interactive, Crysis Remastered features the action-packed gameplay, sandbox world and epic battles of the original blockbuster title, with remastered graphics and optimizations for the latest modern hardware.

“We are excited to be working on the Crysis franchise again, and to bring all the Crysis fans a remaster worthy of their passion for the game,” said Crytek CEO Avni Yerli. “It’s an exciting opportunity to be able to bring Crysis back to PCs and current consoles – even Nintendo Switch – so that a whole new generation of players can experience the thrill of a battle in the Nanosuit!”

Crysis Remastered will feature the original game’s single-player campaign alongside high-quality textures, an HD texture pack, improved art assets, temporal anti-aliasing, SSDO, SVOGI, state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, and particle effects (where applicable). Further additions like volumetric fog and shafts of light, software-based ray tracing, and screen space reflections deliver a major visual upgrade to this classic FPS experience.

The original Crysis arms players with the powerful Nanosuit on the battleground of a new war against alien invaders. The Nanosuit’s speed, strength, armor, and cloaking allow creative solutions for every fight, with a huge arsenal of modular weaponry to give you incredible control over your playstyle. Become invisible to stalk enemy patrols, boost your strength to lay waste to vehicles, and deflect damage to dominate your enemies in this enormous sandbox world.
