RUMOR: Crytek May Have Access To New Microsoft Console

RUMOR: Crytek May Have Access To New Microsoft Console

None

About a month ago, back when the rumor mill was cranking out false leads on Nintendo’s new console, reports came in saying an “unnamed Electronic Arts studio” said that they had brand new Xbox hardware in their office, and that a new Microsoft console would be coming rather soon. Then, quicker than you can say “hey I think that’s a lie,” EA came out to debunk this.



However, now another studio that is only slightly related to EA apparently has this new mythical Xbox 720 hardware. According to the rumors, Crytek UK, the developers of the Timesplitters series, have been toying around with the new hardware for some time now. In fact, they aren’t just toying with it; they are creating a brand new Timesplitters for the console’s launch. It’s even been hypothesized that that the Xbox 720 will most likely be seen at E3 2012. This actually goes against reports that previously said we wouldn’t be seeing a new Xbox for a few more years at least.

Crytek isn’t an EA studio but it is part of the EA Partners label. Perhaps there was a mix-up in communication somewhere down the line, or perhaps this is just another crazy rumor.
