Crysis' Next Was A Crisis Waiting To Happen
Cancelations in the gaming industry are always met with groans and disappointed sighs. However,Crysis Next’s had the opposite effect.
Leaked footage and internal documents notwithstanding, Crytek, the studio behind the series,never officially announcedCrisis Next.All thedetails we have come fromleaked 2020 documents and job postings.
Crysis 4reportedly started production and was reworked intoCrysis Next.
Despite being a clear change from Crysis' traditional format,2020 was the year for Battle Royales,so the decision tocapitalize on a trendisn’t strange.
Crysisfans have beenalmost universally glad the game was canceled, labeling it acash-grab attempt at a Battle Royale. One very pissed-off commenter said it looked like a"soulless generic Extraction shooter."
The game’s welcomed cancelation came as subtly as did its unofficial announcement, with no official statements but rumors in Jan. 2023. Other spin-offs, like Crysis VR, were also canceled alongside it.
Crytek likely dropped the project after seeing interest in Battle Royales drop-off. Still,some fans were disheartened as the last official game, Crysis 3, was released in 2013.
The cancelation of Crysis Next and other spin-offs, fortunately, or unfortunately,was likely done in a bid to put all hands on deck for Crysis 4. After all, Crytek promised a “truly next-gen shooter,” and not a reskinned Fortnite or poorly done VR game.
