Warhead release announced

BioHazZarD · 08-13-08, 09:16 AM

EA announced today that Crysis Warhead will be released in Europe on 12th September, with North American getting it slightly later on 16th September.

"We think Crysis Warhead is going to offer a tremendous experience to a wide range of gamers," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and president of Crytek. "Fans of Crysis are going to enjoy more of the open-ended gameplay, cutting-edge visuals and huge, epic battles from the first game, while also finally finding out what kind of havoc Psycho was wreaking on the other side of the island.

"At the same time, we designed Warhead to be more accessible for gamers new to the Crysis franchise. It is a game with a story that can stand on its own, it has been optimized to run better on a wider range of PCs, and we are introducing Crysis Wars, a tailor-made experience for multiplayer gamers within the Crysis universe - all at a great value."

Nekro I'm afraid you aren't ordering Crysis Warhead, Games for Windows Live spotted...

TheManko · 08-13-08, 03:28 PM

It would be funny if what I consider the best games of last year (Stalker, The Witcher and Crysis) become the best games of this year as well. At least they will become SOME of the best games this year. I have a bunch of money coming in soon, so not only will I be able to buy all these games at release, but I'm also considering getting another 8800GT for Sli. Seems like the right time to do it!

Oh and Games for Windows doesn't mean Games for Windows Live.

Excellant ,glad to hear Warhead is going to be released so soon.I am just about running out of single player mods to play in Crysis.

As I've said about three times now: GFW Live isn't used. It was a box mockup. Go to the site -- GFW Live isn't even listed on the official site.
