There's a new Crysis 4 lead game director, and the anticipated FPS game sequel is now headed up by a former developer on the recent Hitman games, and who was Hitman 3's game director too.
Earlier this year, developer Crytek finally confirmed a long-standing rumour by admitting that a new Crysis game was in development, over nine years after the release of Crysis 3. The developer stated that the sequel was still only "in the early stages" and that it would be "a while yet" before fans heard anything about it.
Well, we now know at least one major piece of information, as Crytek revealed today that Mattias Engström - formerly of IO Interactive and Ubisoft - is the new Crysis 4 game director. Engström was previously the director of Hitman 3, one of the best stealth games on PC, so hopefully that'll mean the new Crysis game's sneaky side will be satisfying. Before that, he was also a level designer on Hitman and Hitman 2 before being tasked to lead the most recent game - which clearly worked out for the best.
