A lot of PC gamers are hoping for a remaster of the first Crysis game. And while Crytek may have teased something like that in its previous CRYENGINE trailers, we’re pretty sure that this won’t happen anytime soon. Thus, we’ve decided to warn you about an upcoming April Fools joke related to this franchise.
Crytek has just updated the official website of Crysis with a new animated image. This image shows Nomad from the first Crysis game.
Given the hints that some thought were present in the previous CRYENGINE trailers, some may believe that this is another hint for Crysis Remaster. However, the source code of the website reveals what this is all about.
According to meta tags of the source code, this is an April Fools joke and nothing more. Crytek may announce the launch of a Crysis Remaster (or a Crysis 4 perhaps). Ironically, we were the first ones that made that joke in April 2019. So yeah, take that EA and Crytek.
In conclusion, don’t get your hopes up. While we’d love to see a proper remaster of Crysis, that is currently not in the plans. And yeah, Crytek’s upcoming “surprise” is nothing more than an Aprils Fools joke!

Wow, what a great joke to makes to the community and fans…
Crytek proving they are still the most tonedeaf company in the world. This is dumber than that Pepsi commercial with the protesters.
Well, they’re in competition with Valve for that most tone deaf championship.
Valve ended Alyx by placing you back in Gordon Freeman for a few seconds as the events of HL2 Episode 2 continue. HL3 is all but confirmed by it. That’s exactly what the fans wanted – Alyx remains a spinoff and the main series is back in active development.
I’m not sure that’s true. Last I heard the situation was a little more complicated. And given current events it must be – if Crytek control Crysis dot com (not linking it so it doesn’t have to be approved) then they must have at least partial rights to the franchise, whatever that means.
If all else fails they could always make a Crysis-like game and call it something else. They pretty much did that when they created Crysis after Ubisoft took the Far Cry name from them.
Maybe the light blinking is more code?

They should have released Crysis 2 as an April fools joke.
Go home Crytek, you are drunk.
Thank you for the warning, John.
EA needs a Crysis remaster badly… Just saying. Regain popularity if done right.
Last year a lot of the april fools joke ended up being true, mostly about intel, so just wait…
If they dont release it until 2021 i will just stop praising this company.
crytek updating a game aaaaaaaaaah good one 😀
I thought the Crysis 3 ending left a possibility for Crysis 4?
Prophet seem to have killed most of the Ceph, and that was after Cell corp had seemed to have confined most of the aliens on Earth in the domed cities. Unless the story says the Ceph have a way of getting to Earth by conventional space travel, the threat would be over.
That’s my take at least, but the plot has been getting weaker since Crysis 2 to 3, so I don’t think they really cared.
A game between Crysis 1 and Crysis 2 can be better… about what happened to Nomad and Prophet. I really hope they are not working on a remastered version, Crysis still looks fantastic.
Crytekk” is a joke here, not april fools joke.
Why remaster something that still looks and plays extremely well?
F*king sick of all these rethreads, many of which aren’t good at all.
I’d rather see something new and good
Needs better multicore support, it doesn’t play “extremely well” at all, even pairing the best CPU and GPU out there doesn’t prevent a lot of severe slowdown in CPU limited scenarios
Also even tho it looks great, i’m not against updated assets and lighting, and why not some tweaks for the AI that can go from clever and impressive to cheated and dumb in matter of seconds
That can be made without modifying the whole game
Sadly no, especially for the enhanced threading, they have to port the game to a newer CryEngine version, the 2.0 is outdated AF and has a lot of limitations now
They could if they want, port it or whatever (big patch or whatever). Modding community changed complete physics/AI for many of games, ofc that “official devs” could do that if they want.But guess what….. most of them re-release old games and ask us 50-60 dollars (minimum), its all about money for most of them.
Cryengine 2.0 has really outdated tools, and awful multi threading capabilities, actually porting Crysis to CryEngine 3.0+ would be far easier than dig into this grandpa, programming is not black magic, sometimes solutions can only come from scratch rework, not to mention there’s a publishing deal with EA for Crysis, Crytek owns the rights but only EA can publish Crysis games
“Modding community changed complete physics/AI for many of games”
Depends on the game, engine capabilities, publisher’s politics, tools availability and capacities, and the interest of the community, Crysis has official modding tools, and they’re powerful, yet despite this and the very active modding community, no one managed to fix the engine’s ressources management because when they started working on it in late 2004, multicore CPUs were net yet very prolific, and the engine was meant to focus on raw core clock power, they though that the CPU of the future would be a single core 8Ghz rather than a multicore 3,5Ghz, that’s why it ressources management didn’t aged well
9900K at 5.0Ghz will drop below 60FPS this game uses 2 cores at best
good grief you are clueless. no modern hardware can keep 60 fps which is laughable and the game is most certainly outdated looking.
Simple patch could solve that problem. Do you know/realize that some devs released a patches 10, 15, 20 years AFTER a games original release date. Yes, you heard it right….
Some devs care, some dont….. END!
Basically “Hey you remember that game we made and you loved ? Ok f*ck you then”

Crytek is a joke for years after joining EA…
Crysis 1 is still the best out the entire series. Best gameplay and best suit deign.
I want Crysis 1-2, not Crysis 2-1.5. And on top of that I would want modding tools and a built in Garry’s mod-ish mode and a single player map editor. I think that would create a very strong game that would last a long time, especially if for the gmod-ish mode you had more engine-level code access and didn’t have to code everything in LUA.
