EA has today confirmed that the new Crysis 3 multiplayer beta game servers will be opening their doors on January 29th 2013 and will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
The Crysis 3 Multiplayer Beta development stage will run from January 29th to February 12th and will include two team-based modes called Crash and Hunter, and two maps to enjoy called Airport and Museum. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek explained : “With Crysis 3 we are delivering the deepest, most robust Crysis multiplayer experience yet,” said “We have listened closely to our fans and have evolved the multiplayer in Crysis 3 by adding a host of new gameplay features including the unique Hunter mode, deadly new weapons like the Predator bow, deeper loadout and unlock options, enhanced upgrade systems and more social features.”
Crash Site ” In this mode, players must secure and defend specific locations, earning points along the way for kills and their ability to hold those locations.
Hunter : This asymmetrical, time based mode pits two players vs. ten (two vs. 14 on PC) in matches that begin with two cloaked hunters stalking 10 opposing CELL troopers. Armed only with enhanced Nanosuits and the lethal Predator bow, hunters must systematically stalk and kill the CELL operatives, who in turn must work together as a team as they fight to stay alive before the round ends. The twist is that once a CELL trooper is killed, that player will then respawn as a hunter, joining the others in their attempt to eliminate the remaining CELL operatives before the clock strikes zero.
