Crytek confirms that Crysis 4 is in development
It's official, Crysis 4 is in development. While Crytek has revealed nothing about the game, it is clear that the company's new "A Crytek Announcement" video is revealing Crysis 4. It includes the number 4 and the Crysis series' iconic Nanosuit. What else could Crytek be announcing?
Crysis 3 released on PC and consoles in February 2013, making the newest Crysis game almost nine years old. That said, the Remastered editions of Crysis, Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 for PC and consoles have revitalised interest in the series in recent years, creating demand for an all-new Crysis game. Unfortunately, Crysis Warhead is yet to receive an official remaster from Crytek, much to our displeasure.
Crysis 4 has the potential to benefit from nine years of CryEngine development and the upgraded hardware that is available within today's PCs and consoles. Those changes alone should help to ensure that Crysis 4 will take the series to new graphical heights.

- Update -
Crytek has followed up their teaser video with a blog post detailing Crysis 4's development, confirming that "yes, a new Crysis game is happening" and that the game's development is in its "early stages".
Crysis 4 has been revealed as the "working title" for Crytek's new Crysis game, which means that the name Crysis 4 is not final. This also suggests that their new Crysis game may not be a direct sequel to Crysis 3.
Below is what Crytek's CEO Avni Yerli had to say about Crysis 4.

While it's great this is happening I hope they don't come out with some tosh along the lines of - "Our game is really meant for next gen systems in a few years that's why it runs like an asthmatic 300 pound jogger" |

Pushing the boundaries I'm ok with but I have an inkling it'll needlessly run like poop.Quote
