Coming to the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in 2013.
First story and pre-order details also outed.
Last Wednesday someone somewhere accidentally listed Crysis 3 on Origin. The listing was, of course, almost immediately pulled down, but the internet never forgets what has been posted on it and soon the gaming media was abuzz with articles like this one. Later in the day, EA issued a statement that declared, "The best kept secret in shooters just can’t be contained. Stay tuned for more information on April 16th." Well, April 16th is here and EA has delivered on their promise. So just what did we learn today?
EA's download service may have sprung a massive leak.
UPDATE: In a statement issued to Game Informer, EA has let it be known that they will be making some kind of official announcement concerning Crysis 3 in just a few days. The statement reads: “The best kept secret in shooters just can’t be contained. Stay tuned for more information on April 16.”
Console gamers can find out what we've been missing out on all this time.
Reportedly, to play Crysis 2 on the PC, you would have to spend thousands on a graphics card composed of subatomic particles captured in the Large Hadron Collider. Anything less would require one hand on WASD and another pointing a fire extinguisher directly at your GPU. Problem is, we never heard about why this game might actually be worth playing besides eyeball-blasting gorgeousness. Maybe a mention or two about the alien invasion story that is actually engaging, or the body armor that spices up the standard FPS routine would have caused more demand to port the thing to consoles. Console gamers rejoice, Crysis 2 is now available on the box under your TV, and all of us with Dell assembled econo-computers can finally give the game a try. It’s a good thing too, because all shooter fans should dive in and experience this beautiful and well-made game.
