Crytek might be known for the moment as “the guys who did Far Cry, Crysis, and… Far Cry and Crysis”, but the company is looking to expand its genre horizons. And that’s starting with Xbox exclusive Codename Kingdoms, whatever that is.
In a recent interview with CVG, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli says that, “As a company we can’t just make shooters, we need to breed genuinely new forms of entertainment and interactive experiences, and I think Kingdoms is a new interactive entertainment experience. Working with Microsoft allows us to do something really new and awesome from our perspective, and from gamers’ perspective I think they’ll have a very different experience with Kingdoms.
“We’re looking at new challenges for the company and thinking about what experiences and types of games people may want to play. Whatever it is, we will try to do. The genre may not even exist yet for that matter, so what we’re keen on is games that offer new experiences for every moment the gamer plays. This has been at the core of the evolution of new IPs at all of our studios.”
In the meantime, of course, they’re shipping Crysis 2 next month. It has guns in it.
