Crytek has revealed that the upcoming Crysis Remastered has officially been delayed. In a statement shared across social media, the company said the following:
“Dear Crysis fans, As you know, Crysis Remastered will be coming into the world this year – and at the same time the Crysis IP will debut on the Nintendo Switch!
“Your passion for the Crysis franchise deserves an undeniably high-quality game, and we are committed to delivering just that. To ensure that we meet that commitment, we will need to delay the launch date (all platforms) and trailer premiere by a few weeks. Because they already started, pre-orders for Switch will stay open, but pre-orders for other platforms will be delayed as well.
“The features you’re looking forward to are already set, but we want to take the time on polishing the game. You might be aware of the leak yesterday, and we want you to know: we’ve seen all the reactions – the good and the bad – and we’re listening!
“We’re still working on a number of things in the game, as well as the storefront. Please keep the love coming, and rest assure, you’ll have the game you love shortly!
“The extra time until release will allow us to get Crysis Remastered up to the PC and console-breaking standard you’ve come to expect from Crysis games. We hope you understand what we’re up to – and that you stay with us while we take the time to make a few more improvements.
“Stay tuned and we’ll have that game in your hands as soon as we possibly can.”
It might not be the news you want to hear right now, but I’d rather have a perfect game at launch and have it face a delay or two!
