Crysis is one of the biggest names of the first-person shooter genre and is well known for its impressive visuals. So, it seems fitting that developer Crytek has announced a remastered Crysis trilogy that is coming later this year.
Crytek recently released a remaster of the first game last year as an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC. Earlier this year, Crysis Remastered got an update to improve it even further on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, while some fans on PC have been wondering when the title will come to Steam. Crytek has made it clear, however, that it has more planned for the series in the coming future.
A Crysis collection was teased by Crytek just a few days ago, and Crytek has now released a teaser trailer that confirms a remastered trilogy is on the way. The trailer shows off a lot of jungle-based action with plenty of explosions dolled up with a modern coat of paint. The remasters are being led by Saber Interactive, the developers who led the remaster of the first game. The trailer does say that the trilogy is coming to PC, but it does not clarify whether it will again be an Epic Games Store exclusive or not.
In an official blog post announcing the release, Crytek detailed that the trilogy will include fully remastered versions of all three games, but did not give any details on what exactly the remaster will all include for the second and third games. The blog also said that players who already own Crysis Remastered will be able to purchase the remastered versions of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 separately to complete their trilogy. The blog post also did not give a more specific release date than the Fall of this year. Epic Games Store exclusivity contracts seem to usually last around one year, so it seems possible for the trilogy release to bring the original remaster to Steam for the first time as well.
It is good to see that Crysis fans will be able to play the whole trilogy with updated graphics and compatibility on the new generation of consoles later this year. Many fans have wondered what Crytek has planned next for Crysis, so, hopefully, the remastered trilogy will be the start of more releases in the future. Hopefully, players will get some more news on when exactly they can expect to get their hands on the remastered trilogy soon.
Crysis Remastered Trilogy is planned to release this Fall for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.
