It’s been eight years since the release ofCrysis 3, the most recent release in theCrysisfranchise. That may be surprising considering the IP was once so well-considered. That doesn’t mean that Crytek hasn’t been busy, however. In 2020, Crytek rereleased the originalCrysis, remastered for modern platforms including the Nintendo Switch. Now it seems Crytek might be taking the next step forward. A series of posts on Twitter are heavily hinting at aCrysiscollection being put together.
Crysisfans may recall that one week ago the official game account on Twitter posted an image, sans context. Theimage was fromCrysis 2, though it looked to have a new level of visual shine to it. A week later and theCrysisaccount has a new image to share. This time, however, it’s an image fromCrysis 3rather thanCrysis 2. While the new post was again lacking context, the hint that bothCrysis 2andCrysis 3could be coming back soon was obvious.

Then, to bring the teasers together, one last post was shared on Twitter. This post didn’t have an image in it. Rather, it included just a single character. Crytek tweeted “3” and nothing more. Given the sequence of teasers so far, withCrysis Remasteredlaunching in 2020and the two new teasers showingCrysis 2andCrysis 3, the hint appears to be for aCrysiscollection bringing together the original three games.
The other possibility is that the “3” post is simply referring toCrysis 3and not to a collection. Crytek could be releasing bothCrysis 2andCrysis 3individually, rather than as part of a collection. Both games would hopefully be updated for modern platforms, but obviously nothing has been officially confirmed at this point. Exactlywhat Crytek is planningremains to be revealed. Perhaps Crytek has some surprises for fans yet.
WhatCrysisfans are hoping for more than anything is thatCrysis Remastered’s release in 2020 and the announcement of whatever project Crytek is currently teasing is leading up to an even bigger announcement. Specifically, fans would love to have aCrysis 4announced. That may be a stretch, but Crytek clearly sees life in theCrysisfranchise.
As for when Crytek could make an announcement regardingCrysis 2,Crysis 3, or a potentialCrysiscollection, the mid-year announcement events are coming soon. Summer Game Fest begins on June 10 andE3 2021starts on June 12. Crytek could also end up announcing what it’s working on ahead of June’s events. Expect more information soon.
