At E3, Crytek announced that Crysis 2 would be released for consoles as well as the PC. According to Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli, they made the decision to expand beyond the PC long ago.

"It's a question of more than economics. At the end of the day we're paying salaries and we all have to live, but that's one side of this job," Yerli told Gamespot. "But most importantly and a bit more tangible to us are the families, the nephews, and sons who ask, 'Why aren't you going to consoles?' It's kind of like bothering people. We've been asked a lot in the last three or four years now, 'When consoles? When consoles? When consoles?' It was literally inevitable that we would bring it."

The PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of Crysis 2 will be powered by CryEngine 3, which was unveiled at GDC 2009. No release date has been set for the game.
