Crytek will become first-party MS

Microsoft and Crytek have long debated the possibility that the authors of Crysis could become first-party developers in Redmond. The matter dates back to when the team was working on the first chapter of Crysis for the PC, but was shelved because there were already too many shooters on Xbox. "We met for the first time Cevat (Yerli, Crytek CEO) about 8 years ago and we discussed the possibility that his company became first-party developer," said the vice-president of Microsoft's Phil Spencer.

At a distance of so much time, Crytek seems again very close to Microsoft. Crysis 2 for consoles has developed and is currently working on exclusive Kinect Ryse. "The idea of Ryse was all theirs. Crytek has literally Kinect and love of technology is a perfect marriage for us," said Spencer.
