Crytek is working on a remaster of Crysis for PC, consoles and Switch
Information has appeared on the Crysis website about Crysis Remastered, a game in development for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Developer Crytek previously hinted at a remaster of the graphically demanding game from 2007.
At the time of writing, Crysis.com shows a video of a few seconds in a loop, without any substantive information. A Twitter user commented that the cookie policy page contains a Crysis Remastered logo. Furthermore, it turned out that the source code of the site revealed more information, including an image showing the platforms on which the new version of Crysis will be released.
One of the images shows a screenshot of the game. The environment seen on it is very similar to the clip that recently appeared in a demonstration video of the CryEngine. In two such videos, Crytek has recently shown fragments that are reminiscent of Crysis, without mentioning which game it is. Crysis’s Twitter account also started again this week week to post messages, which last happened in 2016.
Crytek has not officially announced Crysis Remastered yet. For the time being, it is only known on which platforms the updated version will be released. The game came out in 2007 and was graphically sensational at the time. At release, it was challenging to run the game smoothly. Only in the following years did video cards come out that made this possible with the highest settings at high resolutions.
