EA and Crytek have today announced the development of Crysis Warhead, a new parallel story to one of the most critically acclaimed FPS titles of 2007. The PC exclusive game is the first to be developed at Crytek´s Budapest studio and is built on a new, enhanced and optimized version of Crytek’s CryENGINE 2 technology.
“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”
In Crysis Warhead players don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, a memorable character from Crysis. Psycho is more brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squad mate Nomad, and players will experience his story which runs parallel to events of the original – life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive.
Psycho’s Nanosuit is equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and he will have access to a host of new vehicles. Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content.
Look out for further details in the summer.
