Crytek has reportedly confirmed that upcoming first-person shooter Crysis 2 will be playable entirely in 3D.

Speaking to USA Today, the studio's chief executive Cevat Yerli said that the recent success of 3D entertainment products has encouraged Crytek to take the plunge.

"The success of 3D movies like Avatar and the introduction of 3D TVs from the hardware manufacturers tells us that this is the next big movement in entertainment, much like HD was years ago," Yerli said.

"For games especially, 3D gives gamers an increased level of immersion, which can enhance an intense experience like Crysis 2."

Last week, Sony released a firmware update for the PS3 to enable users to enjoy 3D gaming. The company also launched its new range of 3D TVs and Blu-ray players.

The entire Crysis 2 single-player campaign will be available in 2D and 3D on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will also feature 3D multiplayer content.
