Crysis again. Warhead
Well, it seems like we will get more of that corny B story from Crysis but what do you know. Now it's from another angle... From the eyes of Psycho, the "memorable" character from the original game. Pfff.
Maximum freedom, maximum explosions and maximum Psycho! Electronic Arts
Inc. and award-winning independent studio Crytek today announced Crysis Warhead
– the parallel story to Crysis, one of the most critically-acclaimed
first person shooters and PC games of 2007. Shipping exclusively for
the PC this autumn Crysis Warhead is the first title 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.”
“The best result of a partnership that we can ask for in the EA
Partners program is when a world class independent studio like Crytek
chooses to continue to work with us,” said David DeMartini, Vice
President and Global General Manager, EA Partners. “Crysis was an
amazing game and is going to be a blockbuster franchise. We could not
be more excited to be working with Crytek to launch another hit with
Crysis Warhead this year.”
In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant
Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters
from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate
Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the
events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the
island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have
imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s
equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and
new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate
any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign,
Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content. Stay tuned
for more details this summer.
