Crysis Remasteredmay be set for a late July launch, if a listing on the Microsoft Store in Australia is to be believed. TheCrysis Remasteredleaked release date comes just before the developer’s gameplay reveal for the open-world FPS, which was originally released for PC in the late 2000s as the follow-up to Crytek’s work on the originalFar Cry.
Crytek shared that an officialgameplay reveal forCrysis Remasteredwas scheduled for later this week. The occasion may have provided the perfect opportunity for the developer to share information on when fans of the series could get the revitalized take on the original game in their hands, but the game’s own store page appears to have beaten the studio to the punch.

The Microsoft Store listing saysCrysis Remasteredwill be out on July 23. Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the game before its official release should be able to check out footage of the reveal on Wednesday, July 1. The best look at the remaster so far appears to have been hidden in test images released forCrytek’s CryEngineearlier this year, with an updated look and feel to the island and jungle settings of the original title.
Crysiswas infamous for its high system requirements when it originally released in 2007; “Can it runCrysis?” became a meme for the ages after PC gamers started using the title as a test for their computers' graphics and processing abilities. The game wouldn’t be ported to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 until 2011, four years after its initial release.
Console players hoping to catchCrysisthis time around shouldn’t have to wait that long, as Crytek has announced the game for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and even the Switch. The new versions are set to feature “remastered graphics optimized for a new generation of hardware,” with the sameNanosuit abilitiesand open-world gameplay that fans know and love.
Crysis Remasteredis also Crytek’s first self-published entry in the series. All three of the originalCrysisgames, as well as spinoffWarhead,were originally released by EA, but the studio’s more recent titles, likeHunt: Showdown, were released independently. It’s possible that the release could be a way for Crytek to gauge interest infutureCrysisgames, and with the next generation of consoles on the way, it seems like a pretty good time for the series to stage a comeback.
