Crysis Remastered Coming to PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch

I guess I was right. We are not getting Crysis 4 but instead a remastering of the original trilogy for modern consoles.

"Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE's native hardware- and API-agnostic ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and – for the very first time – Nintendo Switch."

Lashman on Twitter revealed Crytek's website confirmed the science-fiction FPS will launch for Switch, PS4, PC, and Xbox One with better visuals, textures, and ray tracing. Perhaps if the remasters do well EA may decide to restart the franchise.

The game was officially released by Crytek shortly after. With the game only including the single-player campaigns.

Crysis Remastered will focus on the original game’s single-player campaigns and is slated to contain high-quality textures and improved art assets, an HD texture pack, temporal anti-aliasing, SSDO, SVOGI, state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, and parallax occlusion mapping, particle effects will also be added where applicable. Further additions such as volumetric fog and shafts of light, software-based ray tracing, and screen space reflections provide the game with a major visual upgrade.

“We are excited to be working on the Crysis franchise again, and to bring all the Crysis fans a remaster worthy of their passion for the game,” said Crytek CEO Avni Yerli. “It’s an exciting opportunity to be able to bring Crysis back to PCs and current consoles – even Nintendo Switch! – so that a whole new generation of players can experience the thrill of a battle in the Nanosuit.”

In Crysis 1, what begins as a simple rescue mission becomes the battleground of a new war as alien invaders swarm over a North Korean island chain. Armed with a powerful Nanosuit, players can become invisible to stalk enemy patrols, or boost strength to lay waste to vehicles. The Nanosuit’s speed, strength, armor, and cloaking allow creative solutions for every kind of fight, while a huge arsenal of modular weaponry provides unprecedented control over play style. In the ever-changing environment, adapt tactics and gear to dominate your enemies, in an enormous sandbox world.

Crysis originally launched in 2007 with steep PC requirements that spawned the motto "but can it run Crysis?". The series then went multi-platform with Crysis 2 and the final game Crysis 3 launched in 2012. Since then the series has gone dark with Crytek moving on to other projects.
