EA has announced via a press release that Crysis Warhead is currently in development at Crytek and will be out in just a few months, exclusively for the PC. The game is being developed on a new, enhanced and optimized version of Cryteks Cryengine 2 technology.

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”

“The best result of a partnership that we can ask for in the EA Partners program is when a world class independent studio like Crytek chooses to continue to work with us,” said David DeMartini, Vice President and Global General Manager, EA Partners. “Crysis was an amazing game and is going to be a blockbuster franchise. We could not be more excited to be working with Crytek to launch another hit with Crysis Warhead this year.”

In Crysis Warhead players will don the nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, who is also known as Psycho. Players will experience Psycho's parallel story during the events of the original game. Crysis Warhead will apparently also feature brand new multiplayer content, which will be announced at a later date.
