"Do you think whoever worked in this office between crunching numbers and worrying about missing yoga class ever thought that they would see the end of the world?" the narrator says as Prophet snipes alien Ceph from a gutted office.

By Samit Sarkar on Feb 07, 2013 02.07.13
The latest Crysis 3 trailer from publisher Electronic Arts, "The Hunt is On," sets some of the shooter's story cutscenes and action sequences to the Muse song "Liquid State," in advance of the game's launch later this month. Prophet, Crysis 3's Nanosuit-wearing protagonist, is shown stirring in a chamber during an assault on the area in which he's being held. When a gun-toting thug approaches Prophet, he busts out of captivity in style. The trailer proceeds through all kinds of explosions and other combat, whether with guns or crossbows. "Liquid State" is a track from Muse's most recent studio album, The 2nd Law, which was released last fall. Crytek's Crysis 3 will be available Feb. 19 on Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
