![]() Crysis 2, the sequel to the (in)famous Crysis 1, will be set in a completely new environment, New York City. The huge difference between the rainforest in Crysis 1, and the new urban jungle in Crysis 2, will provide a fresh look and feel to the game. Not only that, the developers will also focus more on the surroundings of the player, with the goal of improving interaction between the player and the environment. Crytek, the developer of Crysis 1 and Crysis 2, has also announced that the previous nanosuit in Crysis 1, will be upgraded with new features which includes directional bullets and X-Ray vision. Crysis 2 is set thirteen years from current day, and three years after Crysis 1.
“I Am Legend and The Day After Tomorrow were unique and both ‘owned’ a version of New York. Ours, likewise, is in harmony with the Nanosuit. In Crysis, we changed that island in ways the player didn’t expect. Expect bigger here. It’ll be a New York City like none in games or cinema. Destruction and scarring of the environment: they’re universal themes that have been around forever. Our take will be unique. It was a large island in Crysis but you weren’t interested in every square inch. There were large expanses, funnels and action spaces, and we’re doing the same with New York. It’s a comparable size,”
“You’re not interested in the 55th floor of each building, but we want you to feel you’re surrounded. You have this freedom to explore these small pockets and go really deep on details, but seeing all of New York isn’t necessarily that exciting, and it’s not great for pacing or telling the kind of story we want. It’s a constrained freedom.”
In Crysis 2, you will once again step in the suit of 'Nomad', who was the original character in Crysis 1. One of the key features in Crysis 2 is more freedom, which the developer encourages the player to take advantage of. The brand new nanosuit will help the player by giving more options for tactical warfare in the streets and buildings of New York City.
Crysis 2 has yet to set a release date, although EA said Crysis 2 will be released before the 31st of December 2010.
