‘Altered Carbon’ Author to Pen the Story for Crysis 2
Electronic Arts today announced
that Richard Morgan, award-winning author of the science-fiction bestsellers ‘Altered Carbon’ and ‘Broken
Angels’, is writing the story for Crysis 2. Morgan is working with
Crytek to bring his trademark visceral writing style to the project, which is his first entry into the video
game medium.
In Crysis 2, New York is under the attack of a unique and frightening alien species that
combines deadly weaponry, exceptional sensory abilities and intelligent collaboration to present players
with the most challenging opponents ever seen in a first person shooter. Surrounded by devastation,
players must assess the situations they encounter, adapt to this urban jungle and use the weapons and
powers given solely to them to save New York. Morgan enters this distressed world and brings it to life
with gritty characters, a rich back-story and plot twists rarely found in video games.
Built on Crytek’s new state-of-the art multiplatform game development system, CryENGINE 3, Crysis 2
will be available later this year for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
