Gamespot has up a QA with a development update for Cysis as well as some news regarding the release date. Don't go getting your panties all bunched up, all they say is, that EA will be announcing the release date very soon.
GS: What sort of hardware was the E3 demo running on? How's the battle to optimize the game going? Are you still sticking with the general rule that Crysis will run on two-year old hardware, albeit at lower visual settings?
CY: At E3, we were running on a [GeForce] 8800 video card and a dual-core Intel [CPU]with 4 gigabytes of RAM at very high settings. Not the highest, though! Most of the time, it was running smoothly.
Yes, we [are] progressing very well on optimization, and we will achieve our goal. Two-to-three-year-old rigs will run Crysis well, with lower visual settings still competing with the best games of two-to-three years ago.

Oh, about the release date:
GS: Where's the game at currently in development? Will Crysis ship this year? Can you get any more specific than that?
CY: Yes, we will ship this year. In fact, we will announce the ship date very, very soon.
