Crysis 3 Story Already Mapped Out, Says Crytek

Crysis was mapped out as a trilogy, but a third installment depends on the second chapter's
success.
Crytek CES Cevat Yerli has been rather busy with comments as of
late, largely due to promoting the upcoming release of Crysis 2 for
the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. His latest quote arrived
just one day after the exclusive multiplayer demo launched on the
Xbox 360 console, revealing a tidbit of information about the third
Crysis game.

"We definitely want to make Crysis 3," he admitted when asked about
mapping out Crysis as a trilogy. "I'm not making a formal
announcement. We'd like to make Crysis 3 but the second game
needs to be successful first. I will mention that there is a plan for how
the fiction of Crysis should roll out, but again, it depends on the success of Crysis 2."
He added that if Crysis 2 doesn't meet its goals "for whatever reason" and doesn't even break even, then there
may not be a Crysis 3. "But if it sells anywhere near what [Call of Duty] Black Ops has, there may be more
from Crysis," he added. Given that he previously said that 3D would be a native trait in the next four Crysis
games in the franchise, the current wait-and-see approach seems a bit more reasonable.
Outside the Crysis franchise, Yerli said that the company is looking to expand beyond the FPS genre. "We have
a bigger ability now to expand with more games," he said. "As a company we can't just make shooters, we
need to breed genuinely new forms of entertainment and interactive experiences... The genre may not even
exist yet for that matter, so what we're keen on is games that offer new experiences for every moment the
gamer plays."
Yerli added that he expects the next generation of consoles to hit the market in 2013. In the meantime, Crysis
2 is still slated to arrive on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on March 22.
