‘Crysis Remastered’ Delayed From Leaked July 23rd Release
It’s been an interesting few days for Crytek and Crysis Remastered. Originally, in a now-deleted Microsoft Store listing, it was revealed that the game would see a July 23 release for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Alongside that news came leaked screenshots and a gameplay trailer for the game (which you can see below), which based on the reaction from fans, led to some mixed opinions on the quality of the remastering.
As a result, Crytek has announced via a Twitter post that the game would see a delay from the July 23rd release date. “This extra time until release will allow us to get Crysis Remastered up to the PC and console-breaking standard you’ve come to expect from the Crysis games,” according to Crytek. “We hope you understand what we’re up to – and that you stay with us while we take the time to make a few more improvements.”
Pre-orders that were originally planned to go live yesterday for all platforms were also stopped, however the Nintendo Switch port of Crysis Remastered is still up for pre-order via the Nintendo eShop. Crytek stated that this version of the game went up for sale ahead of when it was planned, and as such, they don’t want to put a halt on pre-sales.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
