The Crysis series has amassed a huge fanbase that applauds its intense gunplay and surprisingly gripping storyline. With the third entry, Crysis 3, releasing in early 2013 and wrapping up the trilogy in a nice bow, many assumed that the story had been concluded.

Fans held their breath, but Crytek made the surprise announcement yesterday that Crysis 4 is indeed on the way. Information is slim at the moment, and the game is likely years away, but just the prospect of a new installment in the Crysis franchise has been met with a great deal of excitement. Naturally, to prepare for this upcoming fourth game, many gamers will be interested to check out the prior titles, either again or for the first time. While it is recommended to enjoy these games firsthand, for convenience, here is a rundown of the general plot of the Crysis series.

The Crysis franchise is far more than just a pretty face, with a shocking amount of lore to support its apocalyptic science fiction storyline. The story actually begins half a billion years ago, when a menacing alien race known as the Ceph successfully colonize the M33 galaxy, and begin producing seeding ships to spread to other worlds. Flash forward to 65 million years ago and three of these ships enter our solar system. One lands on Jupiter, the other on Mars, and the final ship collides with Earth, causing a cataclysmic event that wipes out the dinosaurs.
