Crytek discusses Crysis 4 - sequel or spin-off?

 
Even though Crysis 3 is not released yet, the developer speaks about a fourth game in the series.





 
Developer Crytek wants to continue the series after Crysis 3. Studio producer Michael Elliot Read has discussed the possible routes for the gamewhich might be a sequel or a spin-off.

Read said: “You know, I think at this point I don’t want to give anything away. But I think the Crysis franchise itself has life left in it. Whether it’s in a different game type format, whether it’s expanding upon this, it’s hard to say. That’s going to be up to the designers at the end of the day.”

“But I think we’ve built… Crysis was always intended to be a trilogy and I think that over that time we’ve built a really cool universe. We haven’t really gone in and said ‘Hey let’s put Nano suits and clown suits and stuff and completely violate and sell our IP.’”

“We’ve done a fairly good job at maintaining that, so I think in terms of the universe, we have a lot more life left in that to go back and try some unique stuff. Whether it’s FPS or not I have no idea, but there’s definitely a future in the franchise.”
