Crytek and Electronic Arts announced today Crysis Warhead, a game that will follow parallel story to Crysis.

According to the company, the new game will be developed by its Budapest studio and it will be based on CryENGINE 2.

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek.

“That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis,” he added.

Crytek has also revelead some details about the games. In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’.

More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation.

Of course, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content and Crytek said more details will follow during this summer. The game will be released for PC.
