Crysis 3 announced for 2013 release

Crysis 3 has been officially announced by EA and Crytek.

The next iteration of the first person shooter will be released in spring 2013 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

The game will be run on Crytek's proprietary game engine, CryEngine, and the game will be set in New York again - now encased in a large dome and overgrown with trees and plant - with players assuming the role of Propeht.

The game will feature seven different environmental themes, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said, and the players' aim is to find the truth behind the "Seven Wonders".
