CRYSIS WARHEAD COMING TO STEAM
Latest from Legendary Studio
Coming to Leading Online Platform
Crytek and Valve today announced an
agreement to bring Crysis Warhead® and Crysis® to Steam, a leading platform for
the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 15 million
accounts around the world.
"The millions of gamers logging into
Steam every week to play today’s best PC games are going to love Crysis
Warhead," said Avni Yerli, Managing Director at Crytek. "Crytek Hungary has done
a terrific job creating this new experience while optimizing CryEngine 2, and
we’re looking forward to delivering it and the original Crysis as our first
offerings on Steam."
"Crytek is one of the industry’s
great success stories, emerging new technology and talent," said Gabe Newell,
president and co-founder of Valve. "Crysis is one of today’s leading PC
franchises and delivering the original and Crysis Warhead via Steam is landmark
for the platform."
The follow up to Crysis, one of the
highest rated PC games of last year, Crysis Warhead will take players through
the parallel story of Sergeant Michael ‘Psycho’ Sykes as he embarks on an
intense, explosive adventure on the other side of the island. With waves of more
challenging human and alien enemies to navigate through, players will once again
be outfitted with the revolutionary Nanosuit and an arsenal of new weapons and
vehicles to help Psycho complete his critical mission. Crysis Warhead will also
come with Crysis Wars®, a tailor-made experience for multiplayer gamers,
featuring three diverse match types and 21 maps.
Crysis Warhead and Crysis will be
available for pre-purchase via Steam starting this weekend, and expected to be
released in mid September. Both games are published by EA Partners. For more
