We’re back from Gamescom, and we have a bunch of Ask CryTek answers for you! A week ago, Alberto Aguilar asked us “How does NYC end up in a nanodome and why is it decrepit?”
Crysis 3 producer Mike Read's responds below:
“So as Crysis 3’s story goes, this is not the only dome that has been built.
“After the events of Crysis 2, the CELL corporation were the ones that took claim for all the work that had been done to assist in defeating the Ceph. In the name of “Global Security” the public and politicians around the world blindly sold their future to CELL in return for their protection from the alien threat. In doing this, they also sold control of the world’s energy resources to CELL. CELL found a way to tap into the Ceph’s technology, which provides them with a rich and infinite energy resource.
"The Nanodome itself, and the strange alien energy contained within, has caused anything and everything inside to break down at an accelerated rate. Not only that, but it has brought about an enormous amount of plantlife. We’ve really done a lot to combine these two elements to create what we call an urban jungle and focus on the 7 Wonders which can be found within the dome.”
