Rumour Crysis Battle Royale Game Dumped So Dev Can Focus on Crysis 4
Nanosuits, son
We wouldn't be at all surprised if you've completely forgotten about it, but Crysis 4 was announced in January 2022. Developer Crytek dropped a teaser for the project that barely showed anything, and we've heard nothing about the game since. It's assumed to be in heavy development at this stage. It's interesting, then, that leaked...

News Crysis 4 Confirmed a Decade After Crysis 3
And that's about it
Crytek has confirmed that Crysis 4 is in development. The news comes via a rather abstract teaser trailer, which ends with a big '4' and the words 'Join the journey. Become the hero.' Crazy to think that it's been nine years since Crysis 3 landed on PlayStation 3. Beyond that, we don't really have any details. In the official...

Review Crysis Remastered Trilogy (PS4) - A Franchise with an Identity Crysis
Squid game
Much like our own world, the Crysis universe changed irreversibly in 2020. We had the coronavirus pandemic, Crytek’s trilogy had an invasion of squid-like aliens called the Ceph. As depressing as it is to think the first Crysis represented 2020 as a far-flung future, it’s a wonder the series hasn’t been treated to a remaster until...

Mini Review Crysis Remastered - A Poor Remaster of a Pretty Important Game
Not-so incredible Crysis
Everyone remembers Crysis, of course. But what’s easy to forget is Crytek’s PC shattering behemoth of a technical marvel released 13 years ago. The industry has changed rather a lot in that time.

News Crysis Remastered Will Support Ray Tracing on PS4 Pro
Incredible Crysis
Ray tracing is being pushed as a PlayStation 5 feature, but it will also be present in the PS4 Pro version of Crysis Remastered. To be clear, while the concept is similar, this is software-based ray tracing made possible by the Crytek Engine – it’s different to the hardware-based ray tracing that’s a big part of Sony’s...
