Crysis Remastered leaked, coming to Switch
Crytek is bringing its classic first-person shooter Crysis Remastered to Switch. That news comes from the series’ official website, which even includes a key piece of art for the game – which we have above.
After being inactive since the end of 2016, the official Crysis 2016 sprung back to life earlier this week. Many have been expecting some sort of announcement for the series since then.
Technically, today’s news about Crysis Remastered counts as a leak. The key art is embedded within the source code of the site’s cookie page and not normally accessible. It also has a note stating: “Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE’s native hardware- and API-agnostic ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and – for the very first time – Nintendo Switch.”
This will be the first time that Crysis is appearing on a Nintendo platform in any form. Warface, which was made by Crytek Kiev, landed on Switch earlier this year.
Here’s some information about Crysis from its original 2007 release:
