Albert Hughes Directs “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3″ Cinematic Series

I think the video game I am most looking forward to in the foreseeable future it is Crysis 3. Not long ago I played through the original Crysis again and the graphics still look good to this day, despite that game coming out years ago.

Crytek has announced that it has teamed up with filmmaker Albert Hughes for a new cinematic video series called “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3.” If you’re unfamiliar with Albert Hughes, you may recognize some of the films he’s been involved with. Along with his brother, Allen, he co-directed Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, From Hell, and Book of Eli, among other films.

The cinematic video series focusing on Crysis 3 will be used to introduce players to its stunning visuals, dynamic environments, and adaptive warfare to be expected in the game when it launches early next year. The videos will offer glimpses at all seven different environments that the game will put players in. Watch the teaser video for yourself and see what you think.

The shorts will start running on the Crysis website on 12/12/12, and the official launch date for Crysis 3 is set for February 19, 2013.

Crysis 3 Officially Announced

Last week all we had was a couple leaked images and some speculation to go on when it came to Crysis 3. I mentioned that we expected more details soon and today those details came thanks to EA and Crytek. We don’t have a specific launch date at this point, what we know is Crysis 3 will launch in the spring of 2013.

Some of you are probably crying right now, yes that’s a full year from now. For that much of a wait, the game had better rock, and rock hard. Players will again fill the Nanosuit of Prophet as he heads to the New York on a revenge mission against Cell Corporation. The mission will take place across seven different Nanodome environments.

You will be able to pre-order the game early and depending on what you pre-order you can get one of four different pre-order bonus packs. If you pre-order directly from Origin, you can get the Hunter Edition of the game that comes with a special Hunter Nanosuit and players get XP boost for online play to level 5 along with access early to the signature bow and attachments. Players also pre-order other packs via retailers such as the Stalker Pack, Overkill Pack, and Predator Pack. Each of those packs will give access to a different weapon early in the multiplayer version of the game. The game can be pre-ordered for $59.99 (USD).

EA plans on releasing the first official trailer for the game on 4/23/2012. You can sign up over at the Crysis 3 website to be notified when it’s released.
