The hunted becomes the hunter! EA today announced Crysis 3, the premier sandbox shooter experience of 2013. Players take on the role of ‘Prophet’ as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.

“Leveraging the latest CryENGINE technology, we’re able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game.”

“Crysis 3 is a thrilling mix of sandbox gameplay, advanced combat and hi-tech human and alien weaponry that shooter fans will love,” said Cevat Yerli, Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. “Leveraging the latest CryENGINE technology, we’re able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game.”

Set in 2047, Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation’s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL’s covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet’s quest for retribution.

More online passes. Yay.

Wow at all the exclusives, and dog tags of all things. Everything's getting CODitized these days. I didn't even touch MP in Crysis 2, no reason whatsoever to change that in 3.

I hate how mainstreamed the big game titles are getting. Catering to the Call of Duty and casual phone game etc. fans, rather than doing their own thing, ignoring what fans originally liked the series for. Crysis 2 had none of the cool environments and areas of the original, it was just in the same big city as thousands of other games.

Gonna have to disagree Kev, not that I don't see your point about COD based MP experiences, but Crysis 2 is probably my favorite FPS of this generation. A streamlined game isn't always a bad thing when done well and while Crysis 2 wasn't without it's flaws, I've always felt it was more polished and generally quite a bit more fun than the original.

Did you play Crysis Warhead? That one was pretty cool as well, kind of better than the first in some ways. I just preferred the original feel of using the suit powers through the natural environments over Crysis 2. It just felt so much more original.
