Nexuizmay be a bit of a silly name for a game (“Nexuiz” is apparently a series of battle arenas in the game’s universe), but damned if it’s not going to at least look good. Developer IllFonic has revealed that the upcoming digital download title will be the first of its kind to be powered by Crytek’s CryENGINE 3.

Set for release on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network this winter,Nexuizis a high intensity arena first-person shooter, that seems to take more than a few cues from games likeUnreal Tournament. The game will feature a mutator system, with players unlocking new mutators as they progress through the ranks.
