[X360] Ryse is Still More than a Year Away

[X360] Ryse is Still More than a Year Away

Conspicuously absent from Microsoft's E3 presentation this year was Crytek's Ryse, an Xbox 360 exclusive previously deemed to perhaps be Kinect's greatest hope for capturing the 'hardcore' audience. After some rumors of the game's demise, corporate VP of Microsoft Studios Phil Spencer dispelled any such notion in an interview with The Verge, but we won't be playing it anytime soon.

"We're still building Ryse," he said. "We're focused on games coming in the next twelve months, something I say every year, and it's not something we'll be shipping in the next twelve months."

Other rumors have suggested that the game's development has jumped to the next-generation Xbox console, but Spencer also seemed to indicate that this is not the case.

"Yes I can play it on my 360. Actually, the last review I had with the team was probably four weeks ago and there are some very cool things the team is working on."

Ryse, a Kinect-based hack-and-slasher, was first revealed at Microsoft's E3 presentation in 2010 under the title Codename: Kingdoms. It looks like it will be at least late 2013 before we'll get our hands on this one.
