Crysis 3 confirmed, set in New York, first story details

EA has confirmed Crysis 3, a sandbox FPS built using the latest CryEngine tech and due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the spring of 2013.

You play Prophet, who returns to New York in 2047. He finds the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is now an urban rainforest, packed with overgrown trees, swamplands and rivers.

Inside there are seven "distinct and treacherous" environments, known as the Seven Wonders. Prophet uses a "lethal composite bow", first seen last week in leaked box art images, an enhanced Nanosuit and alien tech.

Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. These were CELL's covert attempt at a land and technology grab in its 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," reads the official blurb.

Meanwhile, German developer Crytek announced the Crysis 3 pre-order details. The Hunter Edition grants early access to the new bow weapon and its attachments, plus the Hunter Nanosuit module for use in multiplayer. You'll also get a bonus XP boost up to level five, a unique bow skin and three exclusive dog tags. Grab the Hunter Edition from Origin.com and select retailers for £49.99.

Other multiplayer unlocks, scattered across the retailer universe:

Stalker Pack: Includes the base game, all Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: for players who like to stalk their prey from the shadows the Stalker Pack provides early multiplayer access to the deadly semi-auto Jackal shotgun. This powerful, close-range shotgun comes with a unique silencer attachment, custom weapon skin and two exclusive themed in-game dog tags.

Overkill Pack: Includes the base game, all Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: the Overkill Pack features early multiplayer access to the Typhoon assault weapon and skin. Spewing 500 rounds a second, the Typhoon gives players the ability to go guns blazing to take back the Liberty Dome. Also included are two exclusive Overkill themed in-game dog tags.

Predator Pack: Includes the base game, all the Hunter Edition content and the following early multiplayer unlocks: the Predator Pack delivers early multiplayer access to the Feline submachine gun and exclusive camo. With an extremely fast rate of fire and a 60 round magazine the Feline is highly effective and deadly, at short range.

Peeps wanted to play in the Jungle?

*Crytek's Solution: Move the foliage into New York*

Rather brilliant!

Seriously though the game certainly still looks good, and I'm definitely interested in seeing what NY's desctruction will do for the sandbox, 99% that this will be a day one buy for me.

Pictures 4 & 5 look really captivating, hope it really looks like that ingame.

Might even get a X360 and PC copy if it's good enough.



Yeah hope that as well. Good to see more vegetation and i hope we will see a decent A.I.



Not impressed at all. Preferred the open world jungle over New York. If this game is not mre open world then I will skip it.

I'd hope so. 2 years of PC graphics progress should show, unless Crytek decide the PC version should stay close to the console one.

agreed. can't wait to play with the bow.



This time i hope they go directly all out on the PC Version otherwise i will wait till they patch it.

Crysis 2 was a joke - Releaseversion looked only a little bit better than the console versions and that is a joke for Crytek standards.
I won't support something like that anymore.
Kill my GTX680 or let it be.



Amazing.. next game they will announce the exclusive pre-order dlc before the game itself... o_O



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

since a bow is my most beloved weapon of all time i have to buy the game just for that even if the graphics would be shit haha. i play always with bows in games if i have the chance to. maybe that's why i like skyrim and so on the much...
