Crysis Demo Delayed

[Sep 21, 2007, 9:30 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Just scant days before the Crysis demo's planned release on September 25 (story), EA and Crytek announce that October 26 is the new release date for the single-player demo for Crytek's upcoming first-person shooter. Here's word on the delay from Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who explains they didn't want to jeopardize the timely release of the full game on November 16 with their efforts at getting the demo out the door, but that the demo will include the game editor as a consolation prize:

Hi everyone,

We have some news to announce.

First, I am sorry for the bad news - the Crysis single player demo will now be available everywhere on October 26th, 2007.

We are taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage. To get the game into your hands by November the 16th, we had to make this call.

Now the good news - the big surprise. The SP demo will be released with our CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, giving the community the opportunity to get familiar with the vast amount of tools they will have at their disposal four weeks before we ship, something we have always wanted to do.

This is an exciting time for us at the studio as the development of Crysis comes to an end and we are only a few weeks from Gold Master. We appreciate your patience and are looking forward to getting Crysis into your hands on November 16th.

The Multiplayer Beta surprised me since its gameplay is pretty strong. I have to turn everything to low here and it's not as tight as Quake Wars but I honestly didn't expect it to be that decent.
