Starting today players can play all of Crysis Wars online for free, including each of the game’s three multiplayer modes and all 23 maps.
The free trial runs until April 17.
EA and Crytek plan to release Crysis Maximum Edition, a compilation of all three Crysis games, on May 5 for $40.
“When Crysis Wars was released seven months ago, one of our biggest goals was to be able to deliver continued support to our growing multiplayer community,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “We think we have delivered on that promise, not only by releasing new content, fixes and our powerful MOD SDK, but also by continuing to offer these types of free trials.”
PlayStation Home just got a lot more mysterious.
Today, Home changed. Today, something happened. You’re not sure just what it is yet, but you know it’s there. Xi has arrived, and there is no escape.
Last week we brought you an exclusive video previewing the mystery that is Xi. Today, that mystery is one step closer to being solved. Inside PlayStation Home is a graffiti tag that will transport you to the first Xi space in Home, simply called “The Hub”.
Inside you’ll find Xi’s first tantalising morsels. It is where the “Alpha Testers” have been working on unravelling the mystery of Xi. The testers suspect they are being watched. Jess, one of the testers, has gone missing and she needs your help.
In the Hub you’ll find a recap screen to help you catch up and a news ticker that’ll tell you what’s new. The Monolith has appeared, but nobody knows what is is. Find Stapler. Talk to him.
The Online Gateway is your link to the online world. Through it you’ll find a message board, a video vault, access to Alpha Tester Miguel’s blog, and a web browser to Alpha AFK.
Mysterious fragments have been scattered throughout Home and online. There are 24 pieces to find. There are Butterflies to collect, too, but you don’t know why.
Enter codes given for completing puzzles into the HoloPAD. Read messages and see how many fragments and butterflies you have, and where you need to go for the rest.
This is just the beginning. We’ll have more on Xi in the near future, but for now, study these screenshots and focus on the latest video to emerge. Then head into Home and explore. Xi is waiting for you.
