Crysis is a
first-person shooter video game developed by
Crytek and published by
Electronic Arts for
Microsoft Windows and released in November 2007. It is the first game of a
trilogy. A separate game entitled
Crysis Warhead was released on September 16, 2008, and follows similar events as Crysis but from a different narrative perspective. At the time
Crysis was released, and years thereafter, it has been praised for its milestones in graphical design (commensurate with high hardware requirements).
