Replay the Legendary Crytek Games
Five years after the conclusion of the game-changing franchise, the champion of Crytek returns. Crysis 1, 2, and 3, the full trilogy, is now available on Xbox One via Backward Compatibility.
The news comes to us via Larry Hryb over on Twitter, and when Major Nelson says something, it’s official. Anyone who owns an Xbox One can now play the full story, from start to finish. If you’ve never had a taste of Crysis, there’s never been a better time to start. It will also provide an opportunity to witness the real-time evolution of the CryENGINE over the years.
You can find the summary for each Crysis installment below:
Crysis
Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather system. Now the US and North Korea must join forces to battle the alien menace. With hope rapidly fading, you must fight epic battles through tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown.
Crysis 2
The world has been ravaged by a series of climatic disasters and society is on the verge of total breakdown. The city’s systems are in chaos, its streets and skyline are smashed and in flaming ruin. This is New York City like you’ve never seen it before. One man will inherit that means to survive. One supersoldier, wielding the combat enhancement technology of the future with Nanosuit 2, will make the last stand to save humanity from destruction in the urban jungle that is New York City.
Crysis 3
Return to the fight as Prophet, the Nanosuit soldier on a quest to rediscover his humanity. Adapt on the fly with the stealth and armor abilities of your unique Nanosuit as you battle through the seven wonders of New York’s Liberty Dome. Unleash the firepower of your all-new, Predator bow and alien weaponry to hunt both human and alien enemies. Crysis 3 is the ultimate sandbox shooter realized in the stunning visuals only Crytek and the CryENGINE can deliver.
