EA Releases New Crysis 2 Trailer

Electronic Arts has announced that Richard Morgan, award-winning author of the science fiction best sellers ‘Altered Carbon’ and ‘Broken Angels’, is writing the story for Crysis 2.  In Crysis 2, New York is under the attack of a unique and frightening alien species that combines deadly weaponry, exceptional sensory abilities and intelligent collaboration to present players with some of the most challenging opponents ever seen in a first person shooter.  Surrounded by devastation, players must assess the situations they encounter, adapt to this urban jungle and use the weapons and powers given solely to them to save New York.

“Video games are one of the only things in my life I would qualify as a complete addiction,” said Richard Morgan.  ”The medium has every bit the potential for exciting and emotionally charged storytelling as literature and film, and I’m excited to explore this format on my first project in partnership with a world class developer like Crytek.”

“At Crytek, we pride ourselves on working with the most elite talent in the industry, and Richard is no exception,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek.  ”He has helped us take our ideas for Crysis 2 and transform them into a story that really engages the player in many new and exciting ways.  His passion for his craft and for games is a perfect match for our team and we can’t wait for gamers to experience this collaboration.”

Along with this announcement were two new trailers.  Check them out and tell us what you think below.
