The big technological miracle of 2007 could be getting a new coat of paint – Crytek is highly suspicious.

Crysis 3 was released about seven years ago. Despite that, Crysis‘ Twitter account suddenly writes RECEIVING DATA… The reason why this is weird that it’s been the account’s first tweet in three and a half years. So if you suspect Crytek working on bringing Crysis back, you’d likely be right. After all, they have the technology to do so, as they kept working on CryEngine in the past years.

In the first video, Crytek talks about how the engine was improved over the previous decade. About at 2:20 in the video, you could see the next-gen Crysis, or, to be exact, the first game in highly modernised visuals. Although we don’t see much gameplay, we can safely say that this small clip looks extraordinarily.

But this is not the first silent time – can you even call it as such? -, like last summer, Crytek released a different CryEngine video, where, again, at 2:18 or so, we see Crysis once again. This time, they went for a… quite leafy footage. We mean it literally, and not figuratively.

CryEngine doesn’t have much of a market share (even though Amazon has forked it to the Lumberyard engine to use it for their upcoming games…), as nowadays, Epic Games’ Unreal Engine or even Unity could be called significant rivals. Still, a few games have decided to use this engine – Prey (the reboot, not the 2006 original), Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. A few examples of CryEngine titles.

Crytek might be possibly working on a serious remaster, which would not only be available on PC but also the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. We find it likely. Let’s hope that an announcement comes shortly…
