New Crysis 2 multiplayer demo dated, for Xbox 360, PC

25 February 2011

There’s about a month to go until Crysis 2 is released and EA and Crytek have announced that a new multiplayer demo will be arriving on 1 March 2011, for the Xbox 360 PC. The PlayStation 3 demo is coming soon, promises Crytek.

Crysis 2’s multiplayer is built around the Nanosuit, an advanced exoskeleton giving every player super powers that will allow them to be strong, be invisible and be fast on the battlefield.

Crytek reveals that last month over 1.7 million players downloaded an early multiplayer demo on Xbox 360. Since then, Crytek says they have been listening to player feedback to help improve the experience.

All versions of the new demo will include two maps, “Skyline” and “Pier 17”, as well as two modes “Team Instant Action” and “Crash Site”. Crysis 2 multiplayer will include six gameplay modes: Instant Action, Team Instant Action, Crash Site, Capture the Relay, Extraction and Assault, set across 12 maps.

Players will advance through a progression system of 50 levels, earning a variety of upgrades along the way for weaponry and the Nanosuit itself, rewarding long-term players with tactical advantages that increase their speed, strength and stealth abilities.

Crysis 2 arrives on the Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 and PC on March 25 in South Africa.
