As it turns out, the Crysis Remastered Trilogy wasn’t just for show. It was being used to prep consumers for Crysis 4, which has now been confirmed by Crytek.
The former PC giant announced Crysis 4’s development today via a teaser trailer. The trailer in question shows nothing tangible outside of some destroyed cityscape, a brief glance at prophet’s helmet sitting atop rubble, and a Crysis 4 logo.

The blog post even advertises open listings for fans that are interested in becoming part of Crysis 4’s development.
