Crysis Warhead and its new multiplayer mode Crysis Wars will be heading to retailers on September 16th with a European release on September 12th.
Warhead will provide a new take on the original Crysis and will be sold for $29.95. The standalone game will be the last Crytek PC exclusive game due to issues with sales and piracy.
“Fans of Crysis are going to enjoy more of the open-ended gameplay, cutting-edge visuals and huge, epic battles from the first game, while also finally finding out what kind of havoc Psycho was wreaking on the other side of the island.”
“We designed Warhead to be more accessible for gamers new to the Crysis franchise.”
“It is a game with a story that can stand on its own, it has been optimized to run better on a wider range of PCs, and we are introducing Crysis Wars, a tailor-made experience for multiplayer gamers within the Crysis universe–all at a great value.”
– Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli.
With new singleplayer content, Warhead will also include a new expanded muliplayer mode called Crysis Wars. Currently, Crysis Wars will feature 3 new modes with a full support team “dedicated to meeting the needs of the Crysis Wars community.”
One of the modes includes TeamInstantAction along with InstantAction and PowerStruggle. A total of 21 maps will ship with the game, six of which are for TeamInstantAction and InstantAction, although PowerStruggle will be gaining one new map.
