Crysis 3 developer Crytek and director Albert Hughes (From Hell, Book of Eli) have today announced an online video series inspired by the game.

The CGI series will “set the stage” for the upcoming FPS and promises to introduce new weapons, enemies and features to the IP as well showing off the visuals and environments we can expect to see when the game hits in February.

Director Hughes had this to say:

“When EA and Crytek approached me about being involved in creating The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3 video series, I liked the idea of creating emotional stories using only computer generated images… The challenge of producing something intensely human without ever seeing a human on screen was incredibly compelling, and the technology of the CryENGINE that Crytek developed enabled me to do that and venture into a completely unique medium of storytelling.”

Here’s a teaser…

The first episode, Hell of a Town, hits the web on December 12th 2012.

Crysis 3 is available on XBox 360, PS3 and PC from February 21st 2013.
