Crysis Remastered is one of those re-releases we never knew we needed until Crytek went and announced it. The original game did make its way to the PlayStation 3 but it was a rerelease which very much came and went. However, back to the remaster, its expansion won't be joining it. The developer has confirmed that Crysis Remastered is the base experience and nothing more.
In a statement addressed to website Inverse, a Crytek spokesperson said: "Crysis Remastered is just the original game. It won’t include Warhead or any of the other games from the series." Crysis Warhead was a side-story which included new weapons, enemies, and content along with multiplayer bonuses. Therefore, it's a bit of a shame that Crytek has decided to skip bringing that package to PlayStation 4.
The reason the studio felt the need to address the inclusion of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 came after co-developer Saber Interactive tweeted that it was working on "remasters" rather than using the word in a singular sense. Fans figured that the two sequels would also be on their way to current-gen consoles based off the back of that now-deleted post.
So, there you have it. Crysis Remastered is purely the original game and nothing else. Were you hoping to play Crysis Warhead on PS4? Work out whether the machine could even run the expansion in the comments below.

Actually, the original made it to PS3.
@mrmartinrohr Weird, I don’t remember that happening. I thought it was just Xbox 360.
A bit stingey, I was looking forward to playing Warhead. I hope the price is right £15 tops now if it's an excellent port.
Tight bar stewards
I'm not surprised on the sequels been done cos EA might have some rights still from publishing them.
That's a shame because I actually enjoyed Warhead more than the base game.
Boo, warhead is a good expansion, they should add it on the remake.
Logical sense for it to be involved really! I was expecting it to be.. this will easily be a full priced release, what remaster isnt..
A let down, but maybe it comes as a DLC. It would be a very EA thing to do, after all.
mannn.. if your doing a remaster, then do it properly... give us the while of Crysis!! these little things matter.. I wont pay more then 20aud just of principle
Saber Interactive, eh? They should re-release Inversion too! I liked that one a lot...has one of my favorite plot twists halfway through, and has an interesting ending.
@mrmartinrohr "The original game did make its way to the PlayStation 3 but it was a rerelease which very much came and went"
Did he change the article?
I shall buy it, only to see it at 60 fps. It was a miracle back then.
@Richnj Yep, updated. It was actually a pretty sad story back then. Crytek told everybody in 2007 that the game is too technically advanced and hardware demanding that it's impossible to bring it to consoles. And then the second installment hit the PS3 and it was running perfectly. Anyway, I played it on PC back in 2007 and then on PS3 in 2013 and I'll be definitely buying this. Never played the Warhead expansion tho, don’t know why…
No DLC, no purchase.
Didnt know we needed? The internet has been saying otherwise for years. Thats why this is happening
When the majority of other companies releases remastered trilogies left and right, and you just rerelease a single game without the DLC, you should know you're messing up big time.
You can get the game and expansion off steam for $30, how much will this be?
Not exactly sure anyone asked for this. Seems like a weird decision. The only logical answer is they’re testing the market for a possible new entry in the series.
Can’t say it excites me very much.
after reading they will be droping the dlc, this is most likey gonna be a half arsed remake(pc port to ps4). where they will not even bother with a disc release at all.
@keihtg I never got around to playing Inversion. How is it?Seen a few videos of it-looks cool. Getting a lot of gears vibes from it. Awesome gravity stuff in it aswell. Would like a remaster if that if possible.
@Cyrus29 It's definitely Gears-ish! Haven't played it since it came out, but I remember it being a bit on the generic side, kinda like Spec Ops The Line with some Dark Void thrown in there ('cuz you float around in some sections). Definitely a solid 3 out of 5. The setting and story were the most pleasant surprise for me and what made the game stick-out in my memory.
Why the hell wouldn't they include Warhead? That's pretty stupid
@Arnna huh? Nobody asked for this?
@MBII I seriously don’t get it. This is an over ten year old game that has been super ceded by every other first person shooter.
Plus imo nobody should be supporting EA - they are a cancerous company who treat their consumers like ****.
I hate to have to play Crysis on PC. I was waiting for this. I want it. I feel a "shut up and take my money" moment coming up when the preorders will be live.
Pity for Warhead though, I did like it better than the base story. Still, it shall be mine!
