Crysis Remastered Will Still Be Released on Nintendo Switch on July 23

Following the delay of Crysis Remastered's release date and trailer premiere due to mixed reactions to leaked footage, Crytek has announced that Crysis Remastered for Switch will still be released on July 23, 2020. The news was revealed on Twitter by the official Crysis account which said "Dear fans, you may have seen our last update about the Crysis Remastered release, and we have good news for you. We can confirm that Crysis will still  be coming to Nintendo Switch on July 23rd!" There is still no word on the release date for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/01/crysis-remastered-delayed-after-mixed-reactions-to-leaked-footage"] The trailer and release date announcement were both supposed to happen on July 1, 2020, but Crytek made the decision to delay the remaster of the 2007 original to "get Crysis Remastered up to the PC- and console-breaking standard you've come to expect from Crysis games." In our review of Cysis in 2007, we said "Crysis is one of, if not the, most stunningly beautiful games we've ever seen. But even beyond that, it's a pretty fantastic shooter. Solid weapons, intelligent enemies, and fairly open level designs mix with nano-suit powers to make this one of the more entertaining ballistic showdowns in some time."
