A franchise that needs no introduction to FPS game enthusiasts is Crysis. The trilogy left a deep impact on the genre, with the last edition, i.e., Crysis 3, coming out in 2013. Since then, while fans have been waiting for another title to progress the story, Crytek, the developer, has only disappointed. It managed to finally deliver a remastered version of Crysis last year, and fans are hoping Crysis 2 will have a similar fate.
Crytek fueled rumors of an upcoming Crysis 2 remaster after its recent Twitter posts. The official account of the studio posted an image along with a quote, and fans immediately knew that the second edition of the franchise might soon get a remaster. Either that or the developers had been feeling nostalgic.

The line was already enough to make fans excited for a Crysis 2 project. However, Crytek wanted things to be even more dramatic. Therefore, the developers also posted an image of Alcatraz, the main character of the game, fighting an armored Ceph unit in the streets of New York.

Iconic dialogues, classic imagery, and the exact same environment is nothing less that a direct reveal. While a Crysis 2 remaster comes as an exciting news, the timing of it all could mean much more. Many believe Crytek wants to build up to a fourth title. Before the developers do that, they want to release a remastered version of all the previous titles.

A grand release of Crysis 4 makes absolute sense. With a new generation of consoles, the developers have a lot of room to innovate. Moreover, a remaster of the complete franchise would attract more players to the games. Those who have never played the game would also get a chance to acquaint themselves with the franchise.
