Dopo mesi di estenuante attesa è stata ufficializzata la data di uscita del nuovo nato di casa Crytek.

E' stata fissata per il 16 Novembre 2007 la data di uscita dell'attesissimo Crysis, il primo vero gioco DX10 in grado di mettere a durissima prova le attuali soluzioni video di fascia alta.

Indubbiamente è il caso di fare un appunto sul calendario, in quanto il titolo di casa Crytek promette di essere davvero rivoluzionario, sia dal punto di vista puramente grafico sia da quello della giocabilità e dell'interazione da parte dell'utente con il mondo circostante.

Per adesso i "genitori" sono indaffarati nell'ottimizzazione del gioco, ed è quello che vogliamo ben sperare, visto l'andazzo dei recenti titoli per pc.

Curiosa l'uscita contemporanea in usa e in europa, mentre in australia verrà rilasciato addirittura un giorno in anticipo, forse per una mera questione di fuso orario.

Qui di seguito riportiamo il comunicato ufficiale in lingua originale:

EA AND CRYTEK ANNOUNCE NOVEMBER 16TH RELEASE DATE FOR CRYSIS

Start Counting Down to One of the Year’s Most Highly Anticipated First Person Shooters

Redwood City, Calif. – August 2, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Crytek, award-winning developers of Far Cry, today announced that CrysisTM, will be hitting retail stores in North America and Europe on November 16, 2007 exclusively for the PC. A technical achievement featuring stunning DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 visuals, cunning gameplay, and an epic story, Crysis is recognized as one of the most anticipated PC games and first person shooters of 2007, recently winning Best PC game from the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2007.

“Crytek is constantly striving to push the boundaries of both game design and technology, while maintaining quality at the highest bar,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “We’re thankful to our fans for their support and patience, and we’re excited to bring them Crysis this year. It’s going to be worth the wait.”

Offering true, open-ended gameplay, Crysis gives gamers an unparalleled amount of freedom that fosters completely unique gaming experiences. Players are outfitted with a revolutionary Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons, giving them a wide array of options not only in approaching the entire game, but every single objective or individual encounter. And they will need every advantage they can get going head to head against a menacing and highly intelligent alien threat amid dynamic, hostile battlefields that range from lush, tropical jungles, flash-frozen landscapes and a horrifying zero gravity environment.

Crysis also breaks new ground in multiplayer with the introduction of PowerStruggle – a unique team-based strategic mode for up to 32 players, where opposing sides battle for control of advanced weaponry and vehicles to overcome their enemies. For those who prefer the pulse-pounding action of deathmatch, Crysis will also feature an Instant Action mode, with the highly adaptive Nanosuit serving as the ultimate tool to outwit your opponents.
