Crytek has teased a new entry in its long-running Crysis series in a short trailer posted from its Twitter account. โ€œJoin the journey. Become the hero,โ€ the trailer reads as it displays a large โ€œ4.โ€ The announcement comes almost nine years after the release of the last numbered entry in the Crysis series, Crysis 3, which was released on February 19th, 2013.

The official Crysis 4 teaser comes just hours after Crytek China appeared to confirm news of the game early in a post on Chinese social media site BiliBili. Its post, which now appears to have been deleted, said โ€œThe โ€˜Crysis 4โ€™ project is confirmed, opening a new nano battlefield!โ€ when translated into English, according to Eurogamer.

It’s time to join the journey and be the hero.

Although the Crysis trilogy was critically well-received, itโ€™s fair to say that much of its legacy has been dominated by the original gamesโ€™ reputation for requiring a powerful gaming PC to look its best. Punishing system requirements meant that only the most powerful gaming PCs could run 2007โ€™s Crysis at maximum settings when it was first released, and now โ€œCan it run Crysis?โ€ has become one of the internetโ€™s canonical memes.

Thereโ€™s no information in Crytekโ€™s teaser about when we might see Crysis 4 release, or which platforms it might release on. But it seems fair to assume that itโ€™ll appear on PC, alongside current-generation consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. If youโ€™re keen to catch up on the series in the meantime, 2021โ€™s Crysis Remastered is a great place to start.
