Alrighty, then. Now it's official. About a year from now we'll get to experience another chapter in the Crysis saga.

Crysis 3 is a sandbox first-person shooter set in the year 2047, 24 years after Crysis 2. You'll be playing as Prophet. Psycho, from Crysis and Crysis Warhead, will be in the game. The setting is again New York. Your mission is to stop Cell Corporation's attempt to take over the planet. You'll be battling new and old Ceph forces and human enemies inside a giant Nanodome that has turned New York City into a rainforest. There will be seven different environments to explore. The levels are said to be more open than in Crysis 2. New weapons, such as the high-tech compound bow and some alien weaponry, will be at your disposal. You'll also get to operate a further-developed Nanosuit.

Crysis 3 will be released for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Crytek has released v3.4 update for the free version of the CryEngine 3 software development kit. This is another major update as it upgrades the SDK with the craved DirectX 11 support and tessellation. Other notable features include: multi-layer navigation mesh, improved skin rendering and eye shader, advanced/improved/extended glass shader. There is also a whole host of other feature-additions, changes and, of course, bug fixes. You can read the full changelog here.

Online documentation for the SDK is here.

According to this thread on Crydev forums, there's an issue with AMD Radeon graphics cards resulting in a crash if DirectX 11 is used. DirectX 9 has no such problems.

A revamped GDC 2012 trailer has been released, showing the key new features in more detail.

Last month, Crytek teased that, in April, there will be an announcement for a new "spectacular" project from Crytek. Now, it looks like the project is actually Crysis 3 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with the official announcement coming this week or April 16th at the latest!

Yesterday, Crytek founder and CEO Cevat Yerli tweeted that "something" was just a few days off. Also, Gamereactor magazine's April 16 issue cover was discovered on the same day teasing a "top secret" game reveal with familiar-looking things in it: a hexagonal pattern and a ruined city scene looking very much like Crysis 2.

Update: Yep, Cevat has confirmed April 16th as the official announcement date for Crysis 3.

...and today, Crysis 3 box art was leaked by publisher Electronic Arts' online store Origin. You can view Google's cache of the page here. Different versions of the box art were also found hosted on Origin's content server Digital River. The art shows a character wearing Nanosuit 2 and posing with a new weapon: a compound bow - Rambo-2-style.
