Crysis And Crysis Warhead Coming To Steam

Valve software announced that Crysis and Crysis Warhead will both be available for download through steam on September 17, 2008.

"Crytek is one of the industry's great success stories, emerging new technology and talent," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Crysis is one of today's leading PC franchises and delivering the original and Crysis Warhead via Steam is landmark for the platform."

Steam download of the original Crysis will cost you $39.99 while its prequel, Crysis Warhead will cost you $29.99.

Crysis Wars features three multiplayer modes, including TeamInstantAction, a new match type that mixes fast-paced action in a team-based environment, in addition to the insanely frenetic gameplay style of InstantAction and the hardcore team-based PowerStruggle, both of which return from Crysis. The game will include 21 maps, six new maps for TeamInstantAction and InstantAction, and one for PowerStruggle and Crytek will also have a support team dedicated to meeting the needs of the Crysis Wars community.

Crysis Warhead is a standalone title and does not require the original Crysis to play. The game has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB and 16+ by PEGI.
