That&rsquo;s according to &ldquo;a high-ranking industry source at Crytek&rdquo;, who presumably broke a significant number of very important non-disclosure agreements to pass on the news to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.videogamer.com\/news\/xbox_720_likely_at_e3_2012_crytek_on_board.html\" target=\"_blank\">VideoGamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The source claims that while technical specs for the new console are not yet finalised, Crytek has been working with DirectX 11 and CryEngine 3 on Timesplitters 4, which is supposedly one of the console&rsquo;s launch titles. A video demo of this project was allegedly shown &ldquo;privately&rdquo; at E3 last week. Hmm, hmm, hmm.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not an altogether unlikely possibility that Microsoft will announce its Xbox 360 successor within the next year or so, although the console&rsquo;s actual launch would probably be at least two years away, maybe even more. There&rsquo;s still a lot of cash to be made with Kinect.<\/p>\n<p>Both Microsoft and Crytek have declined to comment on the rumour.
