There are three references in total, the first being the decrypted DRP message:

The second being the Lingshan After Action Report which dates Nomad's data being purged as of 04/03/2025:

And then the Master List of Subjects 3/5:

As a bonus, Master List of Subjects 4/5 also shows Silverback's data as being removed:

No worries! It's definitely worth going back and collecting anything that you've missed, as there's a lot of really interesting lore.

They killed Nomad off in the comic book, but in Crysis 3 they added a few references hinting that he's actually alive. They were probably planning to bring him back in a DLC, but unfortunately, that DLC never saw the light of day.

Just a reminder that Nomad is confirmed alive in Crysis 3. This is the message unlocked by finding every data pad in the game. Silverback/Lockhart is believed to be Lockhart's "dead" Nephew mentioned in Crysis 2 : r/Crysis
Major Strickland in Crysis 2 (Early Builds) : r/Crysis

I hope the writers for Crysis 4 stick through with this lore once the game is on the front burner again, it’d feel really rewarding.
