Crytek’s technical powerhouse FPS is returning for a third outing next year…
The visually stunning Crysis series is getting a third outing, and EA has officially announced that Crysis 3 will arrive on PC, Xbox 360 and PC in 2013. Not only that, but a few screenshots have been released too.
Crysis 3 will return to the New York setting of the second title, but this time the whole city has been encapsulated within a giant bio dome, and nature looks to have overtaken the once great metropolis.
This is no doubt an effort to roll the game back to the original's, more open world feel, something the second game, although great, lacked. And, from the various screens and artwork released so far, it looks like your powerful Nanosuit will be complimented by a distinctly Rambo-like compound bow, presumably for silent and deadly takedowns.
"Crysis 3 is a thrilling mix of sandbox gameplay, advanced combat and hi-tech human and alien weaponry that shooter fans will love" said Cevat Yerli, Crytek's CEO.
"Leveraging the latest CryEngine technology, we're able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game."
If Crysis 3 can deliver the open play of the first game, and the more refined FPS mechanics of the second, then this could be a very good game indeed. For now, have a look at these real purdy images.
