Crytek has released a shiny new trailer for Crysis Remastered Trilogy on Switch ahead of the collection's 15th October launch, and it's all looking very slick indeed.
The Switch-specific trailer gives us a fresh look at the trilogy running on Nintendo's platform – remember that single-player campaigns from Crysis 1, Crysis 2, and Crysis 3 are all included. The footage on display is certainly looking impressive, so we can perhaps be hopeful that the two sequels will run just as well as the original does.
It's worth remembering that unlike other platforms, you'll only be able to buy the three games separately on Switch. On launch day, you'll be able to grab Crysis 2 Remastered and Crysis 3 Remastered for $29.99 / €29,99 each on the eShop, as well as the original, but they won't be available as a single product.
Individual physical releases are also planned (the first game of the three is out now, see below), although no physical release date for 2 and 3 has been revealed just yet. On rival consoles, you'll be able to buy one physical release that includes all three titles.

Looking forward to these games alot.
Please dont be a lemon, Please dont be a lemon, Please dont be a lemon 🤞
The switch oled will have a word with this game when I get it😊
Looks cool.
Hope this doesn't turn out looking like a early ps3 game
@Thelastjedi2007 id take them looking like ps3 games over stretching themselves too far and running like 💩💩💩😉
Do hope they look good too tho. Judging from the trailer, thats not running on a switch.
(EDIT) States Switch launch trailer 😲, damn. Too exited to read so just hit play instead 🤷♂️😂.
@ryancraddock - I've tried looking at the Nintendolife review of Crysis but I keep getting a 404 error - it's in another castle apparently.
Tried though this site and also via Google, just thought I'd let you know (and apologies in advance if it's some sort of user error!)
@Mii_duck i think its been patched a fair bit since launch anyway buddy so that review is a little outdated.
@Kidfunkadelic83 - cheers for that.
@Mii_duck Apologies, that should be fixed now?
Thanks for letting me know!
I already purchased Crysis for two profiles, but I'll STILL buy the physical versions of all 3 of these games. Saber Interactive knows how to make Switch innards hummm...
@ryancraddock - yes, working now, thank you for that.
It wasn't a complaint by the way, just something I thought you'd prefer to be aware of!
@Deerock69 So um...how does it run? Because my switch's vents seem to go haywire when playing Jump Force and Subnautica, so when considering purchasing Crysis remastered, i was wondering if the system didn't implode or something
Got the 1st 1 last year. Fantastic game gotta get this pack of all 3 now!!
@Edwirichuu
It runs just fine. Seems like a pretty constant 30fps. I mostly play in handheld. It'll start the fan up on occasion. Looking forward to playing it on my OLED.
While it is somewhat of a bummer that they have to be bought separately, it’s better than buying a collection that contains one game on the cart and two download codes. The price is also very fair for what you get.
Digital Foundry must be absolutely creaming themselves at the thoughts of the Crysis comparison videos.
@KiraMoonvalley Oh stop. Crysis was pushing graphical boundaries and setting new benchmarks. It set new standards for gaming. Unoptimized...yeah sure.
@Rpg-lover YEP!
@KiraMoonvalley Stop being rude to users, then maybe people will want to engage with you.
@YusseiWarrior3000 i didnt say anything about them looking bad? I was surprised that it actually looks this good on switch. Infact i think it looks superb. No, i dont think i will "FIX" my grammar but thanks for your concern. Deeply touching 😘
Got the physical Tuesday and impressed with the job they did. Looking forward to 2 and 3 once the go physical
@YusseiWarrior3000 yes, yes i am. So next time you want to pull someone on their grammar and look like the cool kid in the house maybe you will use your brain and consider a possible disability may be the cause of said bad grammar.
@Steel76 They are about equal in terms of quality, blowing them out of the water is a huge over exaggeration. It’s amazing that such new hardware still is only about on par with systems from two generations ago.
@BloodNinja
Kinda happens when the newer hardware is thermally constrained so much.
This doesn't look bad in my eyes as long as it's locked 30fps. Not buying or anything but not bad.
Yeap will be picking all of those as physical release.
The Switch getting shafted again. £35 for the physical on Crysis 1, or £45 for the trilogy on PS4, seems about right.
@YusseiWarrior3000 no problem 😊
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I could get it in physical form as a collection instead of 3 carts.
Why though? What would the honest trailer go like? “How to make one of the most beautiful video game series look like complete fugly blurry ass - out now on low res no textures Nintendo Switch.”
@KiraMoonvalley
It’s lighting effects were unmatched at the time. As was the material qualities for its textures. The game was a graphical showcase.
It was also unoptimized for the GPUs of its era, since that is what it tended to bottleneck. But to say that the only reason it wouldn’t run is to due to optimization issues isn’t the entire truth. The game broke graphical standards.
@BloodNinja
yeah but no
watch the dig foundry video.
the switch versions run circles around the ps360 versions in like every aspect.
it's certainly not "on par" but way above
dunno why you always have to downplay switch ports.
@Austrian The video shows where a lot of the concessions were made for the game to be able to run on the Switch. It's pretty heavily downgraded, so it's good they aren't charging $60. In either case, they still had to dial it down quite a bit. If it were running the same assets as the PS3/360 versions, we would see the same performance issues during those sections.
I'm not the one downplaying Switch ports. The dev teams are, since they have to dial back all the graphics settings for some of these games to run on the mobile chip and not melt the darn thing. This one looks like it's going to be a fair price, so the concessions aren't a concern.
Based on the piece Digital Foundry did on the preview build for the Switch version, it ran and looked pretty well. I can imagine it would only get better on the final release. Getting this one for sure, 3 in particular. Gonna be my first Crysis game.
Played the first and the second back in the day. Generic stuff.
@KiraMoonvalley
The only overrated game of the ones you mentioned is Crysis. GTA V is technically a masterpiece if you can get past its nihilistic setting and the fact you don't care about anyone in the game.
BotW is a true masterpiece.
Witcher 3 is... almost a masterpiece. Not on par with BotW, but a good game in its own right if you can get past the fact it just gets boring at times. I never understood it actually, then why am I getting bored on Witcher? I think it's the general setting.
I just got this from GameStop, physically ($39.99). It's a little under 8GB on the cart and it says version 2.6. When I go to get Nintendo Rewards, its says its not supported for my region?!? I'm in the US and bought this two days ago...weird. Anyway, glad to have it on the cart.
