News: If you have been waiting to see Crysis on a bit of a more powerful platform, you are finally going to get that in September.

Crysis Remastered is only a few weeks away according to Crytek. Hot on the heels of the Nintendo Switch release, Crysis Remastered will be arriving on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on September 18th. The game will be available as a digital release via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store for $29.99.

Co-developed with Saber Interactive, this new update on the classic first-person shooter focuses on the original game’s single-player campaign. Crysis Remastered features several enhancements that deliver a major visual upgrade, including high-quality textures up to 8K, HDR support, temporal anti-aliasing, Screen Space Directional Occlusion (SSDO), Global Illumination (SVOGI), state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, Screen Space Reflections and Shadows (SSR & SSS), new and updated particle effects, and more.

Crysis Remastered represents the first time a Crytek game will feature ray tracing on Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro, powered by Cryengine’s proprietary software-based ray tracing solution. The PC version will also support hardware-based ray tracing on Nvidia RTX GPUs. The PC version will also support NVIDIA DLSS technology and hardware-based ray tracing using NVIDIA’s VKRay Vulkan extension, for NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU.

In Crysis Remastered, what begins as a simple rescue mission becomes the battleground of a new war against alien invaders. Armed with a powerful Nanosuit, players can become invisible to stalk enemy patrols, or boost their strength to lay waste to vehicles. The Nanosuit’s speed, strength, armor, and cloaking allow creative solutions for every kind of fight, while a huge arsenal of modular weaponry provides unprecedented control over your play style. Adapt your tactics and gear to dominate your enemies in this enormous sandbox world.
