Crysis Warhead Revealed News

Following its announcement over the weekend that no more updates will be released for Crysis, Crytek has unveiled a new Crysis Warhead project. The website for the project can be found at www.crysis-thegame.com.

Details of what Crytek Warhead is are thin on the ground at the moment, and the website itself is only one page with a game logo and picture of Psycho, the English marine who gets hauled away by aliens fairly early on in Crysis. Clicking on the image currently redirects to the developer's website.

Crytek recently announced that no more updates would be available for Crysis and told its fans, "There is a good reason for this and we hope you understand when you hear more about the reasons why in the very, very near future."

The announcement, which was made in the Crysis Monthly Update on Crytek forums, went on to say "We are confident that the things we are working on will be appreciated by the community."

As the rumour mill started turning, the most common suggestion was that the German dev team are working on an expansion pack for last November's PC game. While this is entirely possible, it's also conceivable that Crysis Warhead is the console port for Crysis that has been consistently rumoured over the last six months or so.

An even more far flung suggestion is that it could be a sequel to the first game. Crytek bigwig Cevat Yerli has previously suggested that Crysis is planned as a trilogy, although a sequel announcement only seven months after the first game's release seems unlikely.
