Crytek's apocalyptic FPS appears to have slipped into the next year. Although originally planned as a "holiday" release, EA's latest financial report places Crysis 2 in the company's financial Q4, which spans January-March of the next year. Barring any further changes, Crysis 2 joins a rather crowded line-up for early 2011, including EA's own Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm, Darkspore, Fight Night Champion, and the newly announced Need for Speed Shift 2. It appears next year's first quarter will be just as hectic as this year's.

EA may offer further insight into the delay during its investor call, happening now. Stay tuned for updates.
