Crytek debunks Xbox 720 development rumour

Studio poses no hardware, knows nothing of new Xbox

Crytek has denied rumours that it has begun development on games for the next generation Xbox.

A rumour last week, citing 'high-ranking industry source at Crytek', claimed that Microsoft is aiming to reveal the next Xbox within a year and that Crytek had already begun development for it, specifically on Timesplitters 4.

But speaking to IGN, Crytek has responded: "Relating to the recent rumours, Crytek do not have any next generation hardware from Microsoft, nor do we know when Microsoft may announce future hardware or what that hardware will entail."

It went on: "Crytek are working at pushing the boundaries of what current technology can bring, including our focus on DX11 which will be released shortly as an update forCrysis 2, and we believe this work, added to our estimations of what the new hardware will provide, set up CryENGINE as a next generation engine for all consoles."

So no Timesplitters 4 for now, then. Sigh...
