Crytek has revealed that it has delayed the upcoming release of Crysis Remastered "by a few weeks." Its gameplay trailer will no longer officially debut today either, and pre-orders will be pushed back as well. The game had previously been listed with a July 23rd release date on the Microsoft Store.
In a statement on Twitter, the company explained that it was committed to delivering a high-quality experience, and while Crysis Remastered's features are already set, it wanted to "take the time on polishing the game":
"This extra time until release will allow us to get Crysis Remastered up to the PC - and console-breaking standard you've come to expect from Crysis games."
The team also acknowledged the recent leak of the game's date, screenshots and a trailer on the Microsoft Store, and noted it's "seen all the reactions - the good and the bad - and we're listening," going on to explain that it's still working on a number of things in-game, as well as the storefront.
We'll let you know when a new date is announced. How do you feel about this news? Let us know below.

It looked fine to me. I guess they were going for Earth shattering.
I never played any of the original titles. I looked up some reviews once I learned about this remaster and was impressed. I just recently got EA Access and was hoping they would be a part of the vault, but unfortunately they are not. I will probably buy either Crysis 2 or 3 in the meantime and hopefully I like that enough to jump on board once they release Crysis Remastered.
Yeah I've seen a lot of the negativity online and they probably looked at that and thought they better alter it a bit. Personally, I thought it looked alright.
It looked totally fine. But people went in expecting a totally next-gen look (like Horizon:FW) and ofc it wasn't meant to deliver that. Still extra polish and time in the oven surely helps.
@BrilliantBill The problem is there are already existing mods that look significantly better than the remaster did. It looks like they ported the original ahead to 2013, not 2020.
It didn't look as better as I expected, but it wasn't bad. It definitely ain't a remake, it's what it says on the tin, a remaster. I'm guessing the delay to meet expectations is PR to cover for needed delays. There's no way they could overhaul the assets enough to make it look current-gen, but there is enough time to iron out any performance issues with the new lighting.
@MAC26 good news, all three have now been added to the EA Access Vault
@ChopperCampbell yes I saw that! Unfortunately there's an issue going on that won't let people download it. Hopefully it gets fixed soon so I can get to playing!
