Crytek has announced that Crysis 4 is under development and will be released in 2020. The team has collaborated with Activision – who has purchased the IP rights of the franchise from Electronic Arts – and will be using Unreal Engine 4 instead of its own in-house CRYENGINE.
Following the example of other developers and publishers, Crytek and Activision have partnered with Epic Games in order to release the game exclusively on the Epic Games Store. The game will not be coming on any other digital store, so don’t expect to be getting it on EA’s Origin or on Steam.
According to Crytek, Crysis 4 will be an open-world third-person action role-playing game. Players will assume the role of Prophet and will be able to upgrade their suit abilities via a skill tree. Though the game will feature micro-transactions, Activision claimed that they will be only for cosmetics and will not affect Crysis 4’s gameplay mechanics.
Crytek has also released the first screenshots for Crysis 4 that you can find here. These screenshots showcase some truly next-generation visuals and NVIDIA has confirmed that the game will support real-time ray tracing and DLSS. NVIDIA and Crytek will use ray tracing for Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion, reflections and shadows.
Crysis 4 has only been announced for the PC and there aren’t currently any plans to bring it on current-gen or next-gen consoles.
Happy April Fools everyone!

haahahhaha
Ah yes…April
I see what you did there, A little early (for north america at least).
you’re not even trying.
seriously! this is the best you could do?
The moment you say Crysis will be running on Unreal Engine 4, it such an obvious April Fool joke. You suck. It like saying Gears of War will be running on Unity engine.
It’s almost as if Crysis 4 announcement by itself was not a dead giveaway…
I came for gaming news not jokes.
foooools
XD
April 1
Damn I love this community
I don’t know why more people aren’t enraged that half life 3 is an epic store exclusive
I knew before clicking on the link that it would an April Fools. Everything about the title sent the signals long way. Crysis 4… Unreal Engine 4… Exclusive to Epic Games Store. Either this would be an April Fools or EA had begun smoking a possum.

Also, God of War (2018) is coming to PC, exclusively on the epic store.
He açready made this joke last year, just without epoc

Low effort, try harder next year.
Yeah it was unimaginative and weak.

Gearbox has announced that Borderlands 3 is under development and will be released in 2020. The team has collaborated with Valve – who has purchased the IP rights of the franchise – and will be using Source Engine instead of Unreal Engine 4.
Borderland 3 has only been announced for the PC and there aren’t currently any plans to bring it on current-gen or next-gen consoles.
April 1, 2019
Don’t forget, it’s also an open world RPG. Because f*k it.
Aww not good enough for you? lmao
PC exclusive Crysis sequel? The dream 🙁
At least is not an half life 3 joke 😀
You Fooooool 😉
Yeah, and my d*ck is made of steel.
First I saw the title, I thought it was true and then I read this
“The team has collaborated with Activision – who has purchased the IP rights of the franchise from Electronic Arts ”
Nice April Fools
Protaprilia kai etsi..
LOL
Seroiusly?!! This was just plain terrible. Try again John!
I almost fell for it, that Epic store exclusivity made it all pretty believable…
Really? I thought years upon years of the same “shocking, around beginning of april” gaming announcements have taught at least some people not to immidiately squeal in amazement and actually anticipate such “news”.
That detail was actually very derailing for me (after the UE4 point ofcourse)…
This was the worst april fools joke so far
The Epic Store exclusivity was the part that really hurt. That was just mean.

The only joke/fool there is PC Gamer.
Thx for the spolier idiot
Oh 1 April again…cant wait for this day to finish XD
Happy April fool’s day!
Loved it John ??? I knew it was a sham right away but it made me want to read how well you put it all together.
As for the community, y’all need to chill the hell out man. What’s with all these keyboard critics on here. Just enjoy the entertaiment or go write your own. I found it hilarious, it’s not John’s Job to entertain your @$$. Keep it moving Pimpin. You guys take things way too seriously around for sure.
My heart jumped and then sinked. Daaaaaamn.
Comon John what is this reddit? 4chan? Please keep this website professional. no 10th grade trolling…
???????? You don’t Say!
Crisis was made by Unreal engine
You guys are blind, check the wiki it’s said C?r?y?e?n?g?i?n?e Unreal engine
Half Life 3 announced. Will be Epic game store exclusive!!!
You did Good..!!! But i Think New Crysis Game will Announced Later this Year,
LOL

This could be something made out of a bad nightmare but imagine if you made up something with the title being “Tencent buys Valve Corp…”, and then keep going. Imagine the impact in this. 😉
You almost got me John… Then I realized it was April 1’st already, lol.
Half Life 3 article next.
lol almost had me but I remembered the Devil EA owns the Crysis license 😀 Oh and the UE4 part 😀
More exclusive games for EPIC STORE???!!!!
What a bad move!!!
I won’t buy NOTHING from them NEVER!!!!
This is why i avoid opening gaming website on April 1st…but im curious what news they bring…
Sadly Crytek itself has become an April’s fools joke. Crysis 3 sold so poorly, i doubt we will ever see another Crysis game again.
The UE4 thing killed the joke in the title already.
Expected Rick Roll, wasn’t disappointed!
At least u tried..
Developers love competition!
For an aprils fool it was kinda weak
Unreal engine 4 not plausible when they have cry engine.
Activision:lol as if EA would just sell it to them.
Epic store only:its an EA franchise so Origin only.
Pc only: as if scumbags greedy EA would give up on multiplatforms money.
Well B- for effort
C for creativity
C for comedic value
A for the RickRoll in the link
dont f*king bull f*k me
you got me until the exclusive part! 😉
now that i think about that, i dont know why i fall for the “unreal engine” part :S
Maximum fail. Energy depleted.
damnnnnnn thats a HUGE blow on STEAM for sure. Wait, no! You guys got me on 1 april fools !!!!
Could’ve made it a little less obvious.
lol…i wish!!
April Fools
I fell, god damn it.
I almost fell for it because I didn’t read the unreal part lol.
Only pure liars and traitors do april fools jokes….
It was so unbelievable i just kept scrolling, but when i was rickrolled i immediately thought I’m a fool.?
My question is: will the Surface Book i use to play Fortnite run it?
Nice.
This is kind of ironic. 😀
Rick-rolling in 2019? Seriously?
You still fell for it, didn’t you?
Goodbye DSOGaming, never coming here again! Stay safe!!!
To bad it is 3rd person. I play only FPS and the thought of the new game being 3rd person makes be think I will be missing out.
Just make the game an not an online game as that will trash the game completely.
Plus do it justice as well.
Ah ah ah ah
this page = iq 8
wtf why did EA sell the rights? EA has low enough on good games as it is…
Love the screenshots 🙂
It’s not even out yet and I bet you someone has already modded and hacked it.
Hacks and mods is what lead to the downfall of 2 and 3, and with this very common engine definitely 4.
Greeks were always sh*t liars…
