Crysis 3 pre-orders come with first Crysis

Crytek has announced that those who pre-order upcoming Crysis 3 will receive the original Crysis as a free download.

The first game launched five years ago and quickly became a critical and commercial success.

"The release of Crysis in 2007 was truly a watershed moment for first-person shooters and raised the bar on cutting-edge visuals and gameplay and we could not be more thrilled to include the original game as a pre-order bonus," said Crytek's Cevat Yerli.

"Building upon the framework laid by the previous games, Crysis 3 will deliver an action-packed experience that encourages players to assess, adapt and attack the Seven Wonders of the New York City Liberty Dome and challenges that stand in their way."

Crysis 3 launches February 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
