With Crysis just released, developer Crytek announced that its fully activated Kiev studio in Ukraine is working on a new project that is based off a brand new IP. The new studios are part of the company’s expansion plans; Crytek is based in Frankfurt, Germany.

“Crytek GmbH, the leading independent German game developer behind the critically acclaimed game Far Cry and the highly anticipated game Crysis, today announced the elevation of their satellite offices in Kiev to full development studio status as the next strategic step in the growth of the company, and the launch of a new project based on new original IP.”

No exact details were revealed, though it is too early for that. One can only expect more tropical islands and open-ended gameplay, among other things.
