Crytek will develop fourth Crysis game, not Crysis 4

 
Crytek will team up once more with EA to make a fourth Crysis game.





 
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli revealed that Crysis 3 will be the end of the plot arc that began with the first game. But he also said that the Crysis franchise isn't over yet. There will be a fourth Crysis game

Yerli talked about the studio's plans for the franchise. “[Crysis 3] is the end of the story of Crysis, but it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the franchise. 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.”

As the current plot arc will end with Crysis 3, it would be misleading to call the next game Crysis 4, thinks Yerli. “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.”
