The fight for New York, begun in Crysis 2, isn’t over.
In the sequel, Crysis 3, scheduled to be released in spring 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PCs, the first-person shooter’s hero Prophet takes on the Cell Corporation, which has covered New York City in a dome, supposedly to protect the citizens.
But Prophet knows otherwise. Within the tropical rain forest-like environment, Prophet wields a new weapon, a bow and an enhanced Nanosuit.
“Crysis 3 is a thrilling mix of sandbox gameplay, advanced combat and hi-tech human and alien weaponry that shooter fans will love,” said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli in a statement.
Pre-orders are being taken on Origin.com, and retailers for the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition ($59.99), which gives players early multiplayer unlocks, as well as early access to the new signature bow and its attachments, a unique bow skin, upgrades for Prophet’s Nanosuit, bonus experience and three exclusive dog tags.
