Crysis is an upcoming science fiction first-person shooter computer game that is currently in development by German developer Crytek. As with Far Cry, Crysis will be an open-ended game with many ways to meet objectives. An addition to the previous Far Cry formula is that any weapon may be modified with devices such as suppressors, telescopic sights, and targeting lasers. The protagonist, Jake Dunn, is also capable of being modified, as he wears a US Military prototype "Nano Muscle Suit." The suit is capable of four modes: armor, strength, speed and cloak.

These modes allow him to absorb and heal damage, lift and throw heavy items and enemies, reload and run faster, become partially invisible and reduce noise output, respectively. Due to the ability of constantly regenerating health in armor mode, the game will be completely devoid of first aid kits or medical kits. All of these actions, however, use rechargeable energy reserves that power the suit and only one mode can be in use at a time. The suit can be greatly modified to meet the playing style of the player and further enhance the gameplay experience.

The artificial intelligence in Crysis also aims to be realistic and believable. Enemy soldiers constantly employ tactical maneuvers, work as squads, hide and ambush amongst the scenery, and adapt to changing environments and conditions. Soldiers will also respond to sound and subtle movements triggered by the player's movement. While not engaged in combat, the AI will also exhibit typical and lifelike behavior, such as smoking, yawning, talking, urinating, waxing cars, patrolling, saluting superior officers

etc.
