Crysis 3 might not be out yet, but that hasn't stopped Crytek from blabbing about a potential fourth game once the curtain falls on the first-person shooter trilogy. According to Producer, Michael Elliot Read, Crysis 4 might not adopt the series' usual guise as an FPS, branching out beyond its sandbox shooter roots to other genres.
"You know, I think at this point I don't want to give anything away," Read revealed. "But I think the Crysis franchise itself has life left in it. Whether it's in a different game type format, whether it's expanding upon this, it's hard to say. That's going to be up to the designers at the end of the day.
"Crysis was always intended to be a trilogy and I think that over that time we've built a really cool universe," Read added. "We haven't really gone in and said 'Hey let's put [in] Nano suits and clown suits and stuff and completely violate and sell our IP.' We've done a fairly good job at maintaining that, so I think in terms of the universe, we have a lot more life left in that to go back and try some unique stuff.
"Whether it's FPS or not I have no idea, but there's definitely a future in the franchise."
Will that future involve a third-person shooter perhaps, a tactical strategy game of some sort? Crysis Kart Racing maybe? Crysis Dancing for Kinect? Sound off in the comments, folks.
