Word has come out from the inCrysis forums that the highly anticipated follow-up title from the makers of FarCry has been delayed. Crytek's Cevat Yerli has told the administrator that the title will indeed "ship a little later than planned."
Yerli continued: "We appreciate all of the interest and comments -- positive and not so positive -- that we have been receiving. Crysis is an ambitious game in so many aspects and much of what we are doing will be a genuine first for the gaming industry: some of this stuff is really hard and just takes time to get right. "
"We are focussing our efforts right now on getting the best possible experience for the widest variety of PC configs, starting from entry-level PC's up to the hard-core game rigs. Multiplayer is also an area of big focus for us right now, and we listened very hard to our fans. This includes the post-launch modding and community plans. Crysis' core single player is improving all the time - the progress I am seeing from the team right now here in Frankfurt is just staggering."
From the explanation the delay seems to have nothing to do with publisher Electronic Arts and at the same time EA appears to be allowing Crytek the time it takes to create such an ambitious project. Nonetheless Yerli closed his address with the simple fact that "Crytek and EA can't provide a hard [release] date just yet."
