Electronic Arts and Crytek today announced they will bring Crysis, a new first person shooter, to gamers worldwide. Developed by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry, Crysis will be an original first person shooter game for PC based on new intellectual property.

"Our focus has always been on innovating gameplay and technology, and bringing new experiences to gamers through our original intellectual properties," says Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek. "Crysis will be a showcase for that commitment and will offer gamers from all over the world the next step in FPS gaming."
Shooter fans will face a new kind of gameplay challenge requiring adaptive tactics and customization of weapons and armor in dynamic, hostile environments as mankind struggles to survive in the face of a horrific alien invasion.

Crysis will bring together the creative and technical talent of Crytek with the publishing expertise and unrivalled reach of Electronic Arts. Crysis is to be published by EA following the worldwide relationship announcement between the two companies and is being developed using the leading-edge technology of Crytek's proprietary engine CryENGINE 2.

"We are delighted to reach the next level in our relationship with Crytek," says Tom Frisina, Vice-President and General Manager for EA Partners. "Nurturing creative talent and bringing original intellectual property to the world of interactive entertainment is a key focus for EA and EA Partners. Crysis will bring an entirely new FPS experience to gamers everywhere."

Says nobody......a version of CryENGINE2 is being developed for PS3 and I believe X360 is in the cards too.....Crytek hasn't said if the console game is Crysis but something based on that engine is definately in the cards for PS3 at least....

mankind struggles to survive in the face of a horrific alien invasion.

This sounds exciting too! But I think the actual game will compensate for the tacky quality of the story and shit.

Oh I think...yeah...I just had an epiphany. Crysis = Crisis. It's a word play!

First of all big thumbs up for our Turkish developer (atleast all the big honcho's are Turkish). Secondly like hell would this be exclusive, that's a word that EA doesn't know the meaning of!!
