So, those series of cryptic tweets from the official Crysis Twitter account? Turns out they’re related to a remaster of the original game! How do we know? Someone over at the official site made a big oopsie.
It turns out that the web developer for the official Crysis site left metadata for the webpage, resulting in this nugget being left in the header of the cookie policy page:
“From the makers of Far Cry, Hunt: Showdown and CRYENGINE, Crysis offers first person shooter fans the best-looking, evolved, and innovative gameplay, enabling players to adapt in real time to survive. Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE’s native hardware- and API-agnostic ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and – for the very first time – Nintendo Switch.”
The back end also revealed the logo for the remaster, along with the splash page. No release date was included (because we wouldn’t want it given all away at once), but get ready to resurrect those “Can it run Crysis?” memes.
