Crysis Remastered Is Coming To PC With Ray Tracing

Just as speculations were dictating, the original Crysis will indeed be receiving a remastered release from Crytek in the near future. Can it run Crysis? Once upon a time, this was the benchmark for any new gaming PC. Crytek’s semi-open jungle shooter, released in 2007, was famous for its vast, detailed tropical environments and sandbox combat. And soon you’ll be able to relive all that, with improved visuals, in Crysis Remastered.

The game was revealed, seemingly accidentally, on Crytek’s website. The page is gone now, but screenshots are all over social media. As spotted by Nibel on Twitter (below), “Crysis Remastered [is] coming to PC, PS4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, according to the website’s metadata”

The text has since been removed from the live page, but the meta data still has it.

“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,”

There’s no official announcement from the studio confirming the game’s existence just yet, but you can take a look at the leaks below:

The official Twitter account of Crysis also became active a few days ago following a period of silence that lasted for more than three years. Crytek made a reference to Jake “Nomad” Dunn, the protagonist of the original Crysis, which had many believing that a remastered release was in the works.

According to its description, Crysis Remastered will have better textures and Ray Tracing. Crytek claims that these Ray Tracing effects.

“Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE’s native hardware- and API-agnostic ray tracing solution.”

With both PS5 and Xbox Series X capable of hardware-based ray tracing, it’s very possible the remaster will end up on next-gen consoles. The Crysis series kinda lost its way as it went on, but the original features some brilliantly chaotic, free-form action set-pieces. But will it hold up almost 12 years later, even with the addition of ray tracing?

Crysis Remastered is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
