Electronic Arts and Crytek hasc confirmed that the sequel to one of 2007’s most popular shooter, Crysis, is currently in development and due for release this Autumn.

Crytek’s CryENGINE 2 technology will be used once again, but it will be an enhanced and optimised version aimed at providing a bigger and better gaming experience.

In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined.

Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customisable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation.

Aside from this new single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content.

More details are due to be released over the summer and some screenshots, we hope.
