Today EA announced Crysis Warhead exclusivly for the PC which is set to release sometime this Fall.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2008--Maximum
freedom, maximum explosions and maximum Psycho! Electronic Arts Inc.
(NASDAQ:ERTS) and award-winning independent studio Crytek today
announced Crysis Warhead(R) - 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 fall, 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(R) 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.
Crysis Warhead has not yet been
rated by the ESRB or PEGI. For more information about the game, please
