During the upcoming months Crysis fans will be finally getting a good dose of infomation and media on Crysis 2 in the form of magazine previews. In addition to the PlayStation: Official Magazine preview, as reported earlier, the February issue of German PC Games Magazin (cover pic below) will be out on January 27th and will feature an article of their visit to Crytek studios in Frankfurt. The issue will come equipped with screenshots, tech-talk, performance analysis, a look at the missions and of course the Nanosuit 2.0.

Episode 208 of the PC Gamer US podcast revealed that the April issue will be covering Crysis 2 again, this time with a preview with exclusive screenshots and live demo impressions, of which Crytek was proud showing off. The issue will be on the shelves on March 2nd. Thanks to kilmas and Furtkamp for the links!

Update #2: Not exactly magazine stuff but, Crytek's community site MyCrysis should have some Crysis 2 exclusives on the 31st.

More details on the setting for Crysis 2 has been revealed. The events in Crysis 2 will take place in New York City, as told by PlayStation: The Official Magazine's Editor in Chief Gary Steinman via his Twitter page. The message also contains a link to an image of the March 2010 issue cover (as shown below) boasting a cover story on Crysis 2. According to this PDF the March issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine hits the shops on February 9.

Crysis 2 will be out for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime between April 2010 and March 2011.

Shacknews' report on Electronic Arts' fiscal year 2010 update call states that, according to EA Chief Executive Officer John Riccitiello, Crysis in full margins is expected to be released between April 1st, 2010 and March 31st, 2011. EA CEO actually not saying "Crysis 2" has sparked speculations on the possibility of there being more Crysis titles coming out than just Crysis 2. Some websites also pointed out that "full margins" could just be interpreted as "multi-platform release". Also, the February 2010 issue of PC Gamer US magazine recently printed out a release date estimate of October-December 2010 for Crysis 2.

All of this uncertainty is an indication that the release of Crysis 2 could still be a long ways off. We shall see if an upcoming fan interview session with Crytek, hosted by PC Games Hardware, will shed more light on all things Crysis 2, the next hugely anticipated first person shooter from Crytek.
