Microsoft is working on a number of launch titles for its new Xbox console. One of the first games to launch on the next Xbox will be Ryse, according to multiple sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans. Microsoft originally unveiled Ryse at E3 2011, promising an exclusive Xbox 360 release with Kinect functionality. A release has never materialized for Xbox 360 and the company has remained fairly silent about the title's progress, noting that it was still in development in mid-2012 and again earlier this year. The Verge understands that Crytek, along with Microsoft Studios, has been rewriting the game to take advantage of its next-generation console, due later this year.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
"We're told Ryse is designed to be Microsoft's new Gears of War / Halo mega launch title"
hmm, well then I guess there will not be a next Halo or GOW, but this game better be good
Ryse is almost certain, as for Forza I think it will likely be a PGR game. But if its Forza 5 thats one AAA game guaranteed for launch
The 720 news seems to be pouring in, we could be getting close to an official announcement.
Yeah Maria, it does sure seem to be heating up...something must be poppin' soon :)
*Edit ...I only have 2 bubbles (cos I'm radical) soooo....
E3 is gonna be the best its ever been. Prepare to be knocked off your feet, mouth all open, jaw all on the floor...look a cockroach!! Close mouth's quick!!
Wasnt that supposed to be the new Black Tusk Project ? A Studio owned by Microsoft.
So lets see.
Gears of War and Halo will be saved for 2015 or 2016, meanwhile Microsoft will invest in tittle like Ryse, Alan Wake and Black tusk Project, along with Forza of course.
I´m fearing that Halo and Gears will die with this strategy, i mean Cod will keep coming out, many Halo Gamers and Gears for that matter already changed to Cod, it will only get worse.
