Crysis Warhead is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter computer game developed by video game developer Crytek Budapest and published by Electronic Arts. It is scheduled for release in Fall (Autumn) 2008. The game is a parallel story that follows Sergeant Michael ’Psycho’ Sykes, a character from the first game, as he faces his own trials and challenges on the other side of the island during the time period of the first game. It will feature new fully customizable weapons, vehicles and enemies, along with new multiplayer content. It will showcase a new, enhanced and optimized version of CryEngine 2 and will be the first game developed by Crytek’s Budapest studio. Crysis Warhead was featured among EA’s lineup at E3 2008.
In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ’Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content.
