But can it run Crysis? When it comes to new hardware, it’s a question almost as old as time itself. If you ever wondered if the Switch, with its modest NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor, can play the game, the answer it turns out is yes. Following a leak earlier in the day, Crytek has confirmed it’s working on a remaster of the 2007 game that will come out this summer on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

CLOAK DISENGAGED
You’ve been asking. You’ve been waiting.
Today, that wait is over. It’s coming:

Crysis Remastered will feature a variety of graphical enhancements, including support for software-based ray tracing, to make the first-person shooter look as good as new. Crytek is co-developing the rerelease with help from Saber Interactive, the studio that helped bring The Witcher 3 to the Nintendo Switch.

By July, players should be skilled enough to handle a new weekly challenge, new cosmetics and other items. But other updates are in the works. Saber Interactive is working on features like a wave-based survival mode, the ability to join private lobbies and the option of switching classes during PvPvZ (Player vs. Player vs. Zombie) mode.

We are thrilled to unveil the next free updates from our Season One Roadmap!

The video game adaptation of the classic 2006 zombie novel by Max Brooks (and the pretty forgettable 2013 Brad Pitt vehicle) proved to be a sizeable hit since its launch on April 16th. A total of one million copies of World War Z were sold across PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms in the first week of sales alone. The game debuted at the top of the UK retail charts, pushing out FIFA 19 and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.
