At long last, developer Crytek has confirmed what many of its fans have long awaited — Crysis 4 — yes, a fourth Crysis game — is in active development. Such news comes roughly two years after the German studio first began teasing the franchise's return. Said return came in the form of 2020's Crysis Remastered, which launched for last-gen consoles and PC. The developer even published a version of the classic PC experience for the Nintendo Switch.
As players will remember, Crysis Remastered suffered mightily at launch across all platforms, especially consoles. Framerate issues served as the biggest hiccup, often derailing the flow of combat and exploration. Crytek managed to fix most of the remaster's troubles, then followed those efforts up with a remastered collection that featured all three of the Crysis titles. Crysis Remastered Collection landed in October 2021; it, too, had a fair few technical issues but felt like a competent port overall. Of course, Crysis faithful remained hopeful for a fourth entry and it seems such hopes will eventually bear fruit.

Presumably, this is all imagery related the events of the third mainline entry, which took place in New York City. The teaser doesn't offer much in the way of specifics, of course. Thus, details about the story and lead character remain under wraps.
