The time is coming for a new generation of hardware testing, potentially, as we'll ask "can it run Crysis 4"? Unsurprisingly considering the recent release of the original Crysis Trilogy - including all three on Switch - it's been confirmed by Crytek that a fourth entry is now in development.
The reveal trailer definitely gives us Metroid Prime 4 vibes, albeit with a little more detail than just the logo. For its part Crytek has made clear that it's in the early stages of development, and it'll also seek to engage its community throughout the process.
It’s something you have been asking us for a long time, so it’s now finally time to confirm – yes, the next Crysis game is happening!
We are so pleased and excited to bring this news to you, and we really can’t wait to reveal more details about what lies ahead.
Right now the game is in the early stages of development so it will be a while yet, but we wanted to bring you the news at this time as we are so hyped for the future, and to let you know that we will be listening to our community.
Crytek has a proud history of working with our community to develop the games you want to play. Crysis is incredibly important to so many people – it’s beloved by gamers everywhere, and some of those working in the industry today are doing so because of the original game – so we want to make sure the next instalment in the franchise lives up to all of your expectations. Make sure to join our socials and get involved!
As for the prospects of a Nintendo version it's near impossible to predict - the nature of the announcement suggests it'll be a few years yet before it arrives, and it's unknown what Nintendo's hardware of that time will be capable of. The developer says it'll be a "truly next-gen shooter".
Let us know if you're excited about this news, and whether you've tried out the very decent ports of the original trilogy on Switch.

Awesome news.. I own all 3 physical versions on Switch and had them all on PS3 as well. I think this will be on the next Switch.
I don’t mean this disrespectfully, but we must be dreaming to think this will be released natively on Switch.
They said it will be a “truly next gen experience”. So we shouldn’t expect it on PS4 and Xbox One either.
Having said that, Crytek have been very good to gamers in the past and I wouldn’t put it past them trying.
It's Crysis version of the Metroid Prime 4 teaser trailer. A nice logo but no gameplay. At least we got the Crysis Trilogy to hold us until Crysis Prime 4.
well it will be natively on the next gen Switch and a cloud version on the normal Switch (I am assuming that is the case)
If the Switch doesn't get Crysis 4 (not natively or cloud), at least the Switch has the trilogy
I’ve played the trilogy and love it. Unless they are making it for a next gen switch it won’t be coming to Nintendo.
@Kienda facts
@Gwynbleidd IDK dude I like all the ports I’ve bought on the Switch - I think my Switch is gifted or something though because The Outer Worlds never crashed, no Witcher draw in issues, all the famous graphic complaints never hit for me on my machine
@GannonBanned Yeah people got so into the framerates, raytracing, and resolution hype that they forgot what a good game actually is, to actually be good. Not all games needs to be 60fps, 4K HD with raytracing. As long as it's not a buggy mess it's good. Even if it is a bit buggy, as long as it doesn't distract from the gameplay it'll be okay.
Skip the Cloud version. It’s just a waste of time and resources. Especially with the negative reception everywhere with how KH Cloud ran badly it’s a waste of time. I’m fine with the three really good Crysis game ports on Switch. Just port something else to Switch with similar effort instead
@Specter_of-the_OLED the lust for graphical perfection is a mystery to me (not counting games that don’t work due to issues)
Crysis 4 is few years away, by the time Switch is replaced by something new.
And even if the Switch is around, this game will put PS5 and XSX to their knees, so this would never work natively on the Switch.
And if someone starts about the other games, check when their original versions came out, and check how poor their performance was on stuff like PS3 and X360, current versions are more optimised, and tailored to the Switch.
