Crysis


The first Crysis game is coming to Xbox 360, judging by a Korean Ratings Board listing spotted by Kotaku.


Crytek's PC-only shooter has subsequently popped up on the ESRB site too, for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360


Korean games site Inven has reportedly received confirmation from EA Korea that the port is happening, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.


We've asked EA for further clarification. Stay tuned for an update.


Crytek boss Cevat Yerli didn't seem too interested in bringing the game to consoles when he spoke to Digital Foundry earlier this year.


"We wanted to move on to our next game and come up with a fresh setting to further develop the Crysis franchise," said Yerli.


"A port to consoles wouldn't have been easier or cheaper necessarily and we always want to innovate and thus offer improved and refined gaming experiences."


Crysis originally launched on PC back in 2007, picking up a 9/10 from Eurogamer.


"Personally I'd like to see where this astounding world-forging technology will take us," wrote Jim Rossignol in his Crysis review. "I can't wait to see what Crytek will do next."

Crysis


Upcoming science fiction shooter Crysis 2 will unravel some of the mysteries left dangling at the end of 2007 FPS Crysis, Crytek has teased.


Crysis 2, set three years after the events of the first game and standalone expansion Crysis Warhead, sees players muck about in a ravaged New York City under assault by an alien invasion – a far cry from Crysis' open sandbox jungle setting.


"There is a continuation of the Crysis 1 story and some flashbacks to some Crysis 1 information," executive producer Nathan Camarillo told Will Porter for Eurogamer.


"If you're new to the Crysis universe you won't be lost and you'll understand there's a deeper fiction there and maybe you'll want to go back and play Crysis 1 as a result.


"But if you played Crysis 1 it'll reveal some of the mysterious to you and give you more information about them, some of the characters from Crysis 1 and events that happened and why they happened.


"It's actually really cool how it all plays together. But that's for you guys to experience when the game comes out."


One question we're keen to answer is whether British SAS Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes, star of Crysis Warhead, makes an appearance.


"You'll find out," is all Camarillo offered.
