Just at the start of July, developer Crytek disclosed some unfortunate news – Crysis Remastered would be pushed back by “a few weeks”. While left unsure as to where the game’s release would land now, it is suspected that the rework would now arrive in August or possibly even in September since the game was initially listed for a late July launch prior to the announcement on the Microsoft Store.

Howbeit, there was one interesting detail from the letterhead posted by the developer at the time: pre-orders would still presume for Nintendo Switch owners. While console players on Xbox or PlayStation as well as PC users would be hindered from pre-ordering for the time being, but players on Nintendo’s platform weirdly enough could still pre-purchase the game.

While it was an enigma at that time, Crytek has revealed recently the reasoning for why. And this is because Crysis Remastered will be launching on the originally listed date uniquely for the Nintendo Switch. The developer made the announcement this past week on its official Twitter account.

Even more, the studio just today unleashed a care package of content for Crysis Remastered showing off some of the improvements that have been made on the 2007 title with the coming remastered title. You can view images and even snippets of the game’s performing on Nintendo Switch by visiting the Crysis website.

Elsewhere on Twitter yet again, Crytek also spared new details concerning the remaining console and PC version for Crysis Remastered; sharing that the respected versions will have an update in the coming future. “PC and console players: we’ll have more updates for you shortly. Stay tuned,” the tweet tells.

What platform do you plan on picking up Crysis on when it arrives later this year?

Crysis Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 23, 2020; listed for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC for an undisclosed date.
