Shooter fans will face a new kind of gameplay challenge requiring adaptive tactics and customization of weapons and armor in dynamic, hostile environments as mankind struggles to survive in the face of a horrific alien invasion.

Shooter fans will be able to download a modified and enhanced version of the single-player campaign from the original Crysis, remastered for console players using Crytek's state-of-the-art CryENGINE 3 with all new lighting, effects and other visual optimizations.

Critics hailed Crysis and Crysis 2 as titles that ushered in the next-generation of gaming with jaw-dropping visuals, industry leading technology and groundbreaking sandbox gameplay, featuring the super-powerful Nanosuit. Today, the original, award-winning 2007 single-player campaign has been remastered for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network with optimized Nanosuit controls, fine-tuned combat and full stereoscopic 3D support.


In Crysis, gamers will travel to 2019 where a team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. Now with hope rapidly fading, the US and North Koreans must join forces to battle the alien menace, fighting epic battles through stunning, photorealistic tropical jungles and frozen landscapes.

Crysis will be available on XboxLive and PlayStation Network for just $19.99 SRP or 1600 Microsoft Points.
