Crytek are planning to follow up Crysis 3 with a fourth game in the series, but intends to do “radical and new” things with it. But calling the fourth game Crysis 4 at the moment would be “misleading”.
Crytek boss Cevat Yerli told Eurogamer that the developer feels the closure of the trilogy with Crysis 3 will allow them greater flexibility for the next title in the series.
Yerli revealed that a fourth game is planned, but is not yet in pre-production.
“We are excited about the DNA of Crysis and of the franchise. There can be literally tonnes of titles out there within the franchise. Unlike Far Cry, this time around we feel very flexible about Crysis,.
“I wouldn’t name it Crysis 4 at this stage because it would be misleading,. We want to finalise Prophet’s story and Crysis 4 would imply the story just moves on.
“Normally in this time right now we would already have pre-production going on, but because we want to make this something much more radical and new we are looking at it as a bit more of a long term thing. It’s too early to talk about it for these reasons.”
