It is possible that a Crysis remaster is being prepared

The 2007 cult shooter may be back in a refreshed release on a newer version of CryEngine. There are no certificates yet, but the clues are there.



Last summer, there was talk of a potential remaster or remake of the original Crysis, an SF shooter that had been a benchmark for PCs on hardware for years. The reason for these stories was the demo video above for CryEngine launcher version 5.6. Specifically, at the end of that video, along with music from Crysis, we saw some footage of a tropical island, but in an even more detailed release than in 2007.

Nothing was confirmed or announced then - and it still has not. However, a new promotional video for CryEngine was released yesterday and there is something weird about it. This is a preview of games made on CryEngine between 2011 and 2020. The preview does not include another game made on CryEngine - the original Crysis, but is shown at the end of the video, without stating it. A well-known scene is shown on the game introduction, this time in the original release of the second version of CryEngine.

Of course, this is no confirmation that the remaster is coming, but it is worth noting that the Electronic Arts publishing company recently announced that it will launch a series of remasters during 2020. And it is Crysis that they own.
