In our exclusive talk with Crytek big cheese Cevat Yerli he revealed that Crysis 3 is "clearer as an IP," as the team behind it embraced a "hunter theme" that touches both singleplayer and multiplayer.
It brings the third full instalment closer to the original game, he remarked, "as opposed to Crysis 2." That 'hunter's aspect' was the creative driving force for Crytek - birthing the "seven wonders".
