Crysis 2 release date announced

Posted by Chris Holmes at 8:20pm on August 13th, 2010

Crytek has announced that Crysis 2 will be released in North America on 22nd March and Europe on 25th March 2011. EA delayed the game earlier this month, shifting it from holiday 2010 to Q1 2011. No one has said why it’s been delayed yet, but we’re guessing it’s to give Crytek some additional polishing time or to get the game out of a competitive Christmas gaming meltdown. The game will launch in 3D on the PC, PS3 and 360.

Crysis 2 delayed

Posted by Chris Holmes at 3:52pm on August 4th, 2010

EA has announced that Crysis 2 has been delayed. The game will now be released between January and March 2011. We haven’t been given any reason why the company has delayed the game, but it’s currently rumoured that Crytek were waiting for PC hardware manufacturers to catch up.  Regardless, it will be released on the PC, 360 and PS3 eventually, and will support 3D.

Crysis 2 special edition details leaked

Posted by Chris Holmes at 2:47pm on July 13th, 2010

A German website has leaked details of a Crysis 2 limited edition bundle. Webhallen.com was the original source of the info, but has removed it. Fortunately, PlayFront.de managed to get a glimpse of the pack. The pack is called the “Nano-Edition”, and includes a nano-suit backpack (46cm x 24cm), a 20cm Prophet statue, a 176 page art book and a steel-style game box. It also includes some online things such as immediate access to higher ranks, unlockable items, an exclusive dog tag, a SCAR hologram and a weapon skin. Unfortunately, the price is a rather high €158. That equates to £130.

Crytek making 360 exclusive game

Posted by Chris Holmes at 9:02pm on June 14th, 2010

Microsoft has announced that Crytek is developing an exclusive new game for the Xbox 360. At the moment it’s called “Codename Kingdoms”. We’re not sure if that genuinely is its name or if it is indeed a codename, but that’s what it’s going by right now. It looks like it’s going to take place in ancient Rome or some other place with old-school gladiators.
