Some new details have emerged from Edge about Crysis 2. From the last issue, it was revealed that the game will move to the concrete jungle, to New York City. Crytek have revealed some new details about the game and how they are trying to make their version of New York more unique.

Set three years after the first game, placing it 13 years from now, the sequel moves the fight for Earth to a new island: Manhattan. But this isn’t like the New York you’ve seen in the movies or other games, according to Crytek president Cevat Yerli.

“I Am Legend and The Day After Tomorrow were unique and both ‘owned’ a version of New York,” he told us. “Ours, likewise, is in harmony with the Nanosuit. In Crysis, we changed that island in ways the player didn’t expect. Expect bigger here. It’ll be a New York City like none in games or cinema.”

Executive producer Nathan Camarillo said: “Destruction and scarring of the environment: they’re universal themes that have been around forever. Our take will be unique.
