Crysis Warhead is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter computer game developed by video game developer Crytek Budapest and published by Electronic Arts as an expansion to Crysis. It is scheduled for release in September 2008. The game is a parallel story that follows Sergeant Michael 'Psycho' Sykes, a character from the original Crysis, as he faces his own trials and challenges on the other side of the island during the time period of the first game. It will feature new fully customizable weapons, vehicles and enemies, along with new multiplayer content. It will showcase a new, enhanced and optimized version of CryEngine 2 and will be the first game developed by Crytek's Budapest studio. Crysis Warhead was featured among EA's lineup at E3 2008 where it gained two "Best of E3" awards: one for "Best First Person Shooter" and another for "Best graphics technology".
In addition to the single player campaign, Crytek has also emphasized the Crysis Warhead multiplayer modes, entitled Crysis Wars. In addition to the Instant Action and Power Struggle modes of the original Crysis, Crysis Warhead will also feature Team Instant Action mode, as well as 21 playable maps upon release. Crytek has made numerous changes to the multiplayer gameplay including tighter vehicle controls, weapon rebalancing, and nanosuit alterations..
While Crysis was previously announced to be a trilogy, Crysis Warhead will not be the second chapter in that trilogy; it is instead billed as a stand-alone expansion pack, although its amount of included content exceeds what most typical expansion packs offer.
The developers have also claimed that due to further optimizations of CryEngine2, Crysis Warhead will perform better than the original Crysis. In their review, IGN confirmed that Crysis Warhead not only looks graphically better than the original Crysis, but runs better, too.
IGN reported that the game will retail at less than normal games' RRP though the game's feature set is close to those featured in full-priced games.
EA recently announced that the game's minimum requirements are basically identical to the minimum requirements of Crysis (except for the HDD capacity, which now is of 15 GB). However, the High and Very High configurations are expected to require less powerful machines than before.
