Late last week, EA and Crytek unleashed a teaser for the trailer you now see perched above this very post. The teaser was a whole 15 seconds of gameplay and scarcely worth sharing even with the most diehard Crysis fanboys and girls. This trailer right here, however, is squee-worthy.

New York looks amazing, nestled quietly under its nanodome. If the trailer is anything to go by, then Prophet’s mission objective seems pretty straightforward: get in; kill everything that isn’t human; make things explode in glorious detail; make use of hi-tech gadgets and suits; don’t step on any cute little frogs; punch aliens in the face.

Incidentally, those mission objectives are exactly the same as the prerequisites I have for all FPS games.

Last week Wednesday the world got a sneaky glimpse at Crysis 3 before anybody from EA or Crytek could make things official. A few days later and things have just been made official thanks to the Crytek Twitter account pointing people towards the newly launched website for the game.

In Crysis 3 you’ll play as Prophet as he turns what’s left of New York into his own hunting ground. It sounds as if the basic game mechanics remain unchanged, with the premise of “adapt to survive” returning once more. No mention of new suit abilities, but the staples of strength and stealth will be returning.

New York resembles a rainforest more than a city in Crysis 3, with what’s left of the metropolis giving way to nature’s course under the threat-containing nanodome. You’ll be taking on alien tech in seven different environments ranging from jungles to canyons and swamps. It sounds as if things are going to be more open than in Crysis 2, which is definitely good news. Check out more over on the official website.
