Crytek have released a new patch for Crysis 2 that adds DirectX 11 support and other features.

Titled, the Crysis 2 Ultra Upgrade, the patch adds Direct X 11 support which delivers higher quality visuals and features including tessellation, water rendering improvements, high quality HDR motion blur, and many other special effects and higher quality texture formats with the optional high res texture pack.

The DX11 Ultra Upgrade and High Res Texture Pack can be downloaded from the official Crysis 2 site, or is available via an auto installation once gamers go online with Crysis 2 on PC.

As well as the Ultra Upgrade, Crytek will be releasing a free Map Editor on Wednesday that lets gamers create their own maps for the game. The map editor can be downloaded from Wednesday at mycrysis.com
