Even though Crytek doesn’t have a game in development for Wii U, the company still has high praise for the console. CEO Cevat Yerli had some very nice things to say about its power and the hardware overall while speaking with CVG.

When discussing Wii U, Yerli explained the reasoning as to why the studio isn’t working on the platform directly. He also teased a mystery title “from a respected developer that we will be announcing.” This project is apparently running on CryEngine 3.
