Crysis Warhead release date revealed

[Dalo Harkin]

Just nine months after Crysis came out and made even the most expensive PCs burst into tears, Crytek has already announced that the sequel, Crysis Warhead, will be out in just a few weeks. The UK release date has been set for 19 September at a price of £19.99, and it’s a standalone game so you won’t need a copy of Crysis to run it either.

 

Following the complaints about high system requirements after the release of Crysis, Crytek promises that Crysis Warhead has been ‘optimised to run better on a wider range of PCs,’ as a part of a strategy to make the sequel ‘more accessible for gamers new to the Crysis franchise.’ The developer also says that the game’s story works fine on its own, without prior knowledge of the first game.

 

As well as the single-player game, Crysis Warhead will also feature three multiplayer modes, adding TeamInstantAction to the InstantAction and PowerStruggle modes found in the original game. Crytek claims that the new mode ‘mixes fast-paced action in a team-based environment,’ and that it will add six new maps, which can also be used in the InstantAction mode.

 

Crysis Warhead follows the story of the original Crysis through the eyes of Nomad’s bluntly vocal Cockney sidekick, Sergeant ‘Psycho’ Sykes. See the Crysis Warhead website for more information.
