The whole point of a sequel is to be better than the game that came before it and that’s exactly what 2 did. Better graphics, better combat, more weapons, way more suits, way better traversal, and better quality of life features. It’s a no brainer that 2 is the best in the series despite the trolls here on Reddit and the grifters on YouTube say. Newer is always better, it’s common sense.
On the 39th slide of Embracer Group’s financial update, a list of ‘underleveraged’ games was documented, including:

Yes, it's all procedurally generated, but here are some cool facts:
- No Man’s Sky has 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets. Exploring even 1% of them could take over a million years
- At one planet per second, fully exploring No Man’s Sky would still take around 585 billion years
- Humanity would probably go extinct long before anyone fully explores No Man’s Sky
- Players may have barely scratched the surface of No Man’s Sky, despite years of exploration
- No Man’s Sky is so massive that seeing every planet would take longer than the age of the universe many times over

A newly discovered Crytek job listing has reignited speculation that the studio could be working on a full Crysis remake instead of a brand-new sequel. Fans believe this would make more sense following the reported pause of Crysis 4 amid layoffs and financial struggles at the company.
Many players see a modern remake of the original 2007 Crysis as a safer and more realistic project for Crytek, especially after the mixed reception of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. Rumors were further fueled by reports that Crysis 4’s game director left the studio in late 2024.
Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, and the mysterious new project could also be related to Hunt: Showdown 1896, CryEngine, or an entirely new IP.
Howard confirmed the game is still "a long way off," so fans shouldn’t expect it anytime soon.
Some concerning points include:
But it seems like you don't have to worry too much on the clauses on EULA because it doesn't automatically act above consumer protection rights. So we're good.
