Crysis 3 confirmed

Yesterday saw a flurry of information surrounding Crysis 3 after a Swedish magazine, NeoGAF leaked the box art.

Crytek today confirmed the game is indeed in development and have promised more information next week.

The shooter was confirmed on EA's Origin website after the rumour dropped. Many months of speculation after job ads hinting at the development of the third game have finally been laid to rest.

"Yeah, what can we say other than that the best kept secret in shooters just can't be contained," the firm told CVG. "We will share more information next Monday, April 16."

At the moment, it's likely the game will be released in early 2013 and will also be based in New York, again. The story will continue where Crysis 2 left off.

We'll be at a showcase next week for EA, so we'll let you know if we hear anything else.
