I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex
