PC Gamer tweets that the first Crysis 2 preview is just around the corner. The preview will be published on the February 2010 issue of PC Gamer US Magazine and it comes equipped with the first two screenshots from the game. The cover image shows an illustration of Nanosuit 2 in action and states that Crysis 2 will go into a mind-blowing new direction. Check out the cover image below. Thanks to ssmetaknight for the heads up!

According to this PDF (thanks pcrysis) the February issue will be on sale from January 5.

Quote from website Maximum PC's news story:

The preview debuts the first two screens from the game, showing off a lush city park (complete with benches, trash cans, and plenty of trees) and a decimated city street.

There's also an interview with the game's Executive Producer, Nathan Camarillo, which includes highlighted phrases like "far from tropical" and "increased verticality."
