Was one of the most ambitious studies of the last decade, but Crytek now seems to have lost its brilliant talent. The German software house recently faced a severe crisis, with the closure of six studios and an unexpected change of leadership, but it is still standing and, according to the latest rumors, it could be working on more than just a project.

We are therefore talking about the series Crysis , ready to shine with two potential new titles, including a battle royale with great potential.

Crysis Battle Royale: what’s boiling in Crytek’s pot?

It is in the corridors of Twitter that the aforementioned rumors echo: here the user @pokeprotos shared the alleged list of new games in the works at Crytek. So we find a certain Crysis Next , a mobile version of Hunt: Showdown and the sequels to Ryse: Son of Rome and Robinson: The Journey.

The leak does not offer any details about the titles mentioned, except for the ‘new’ Crysis, of which we even have a picture. According to the description leaked online, Next would be “a free-to-play battle royale in which 100 players clash in frenzied combat “.

The next episode of the series will therefore not be a singleplayer, but a multiplayer title which, among other things, will offer an extensive system of personalization of the characters and their ‘powers’, based on the iconic Nanosuit , and a original setting.

So far nothing revolutionary, were it not for a curious detail: Crysis Next will propose “the ultimate live streaming experience” . In January 2019, we recall, Crytek had announced a collaboration with Improbable, the company behind the development of SpatialOS , a cloud infrastructure with which it was possible to give life to the first battle royale for 1000 players.

By fitting the pieces of the puzzle together, we deduce that the project born from the partnership between Crytek and Improbable is Crysis Next. To support this theory, moreover, there is the recent renewal of the ‘Crysis Wars’ trademark, dating back to last September. “The Crysis franchise has all it takes to create a one-of-a-kind battle royale. The gameplay . The style and the setting. The high-value production “, so reads the description reported in the leak. above.

As this is a simple leak we have no official details and Crytek has not yet commented on the information leaked online. Yes, we could really see the return of Crysis in multiplayer sauce, but we may also have to ‘settle’ for yet another game in virtual reality , an area in which the Teutonic company can still prove its talent.
