Crytek is working on some new IP-based project.
 
And it might not even be an FPS.

And, it might be for multiple platforms.

Crytek Begins Work on New Original Game
New project to use Crysis engine, possibly new genre or platform.
By Philip Kollar, 05/11/2007

What does a high-class developer like Crytek do to celebrate as it nears completion of the insanely gorgeous Crysis? Start work on the next game, obviously. GamesIndustry.biz has the announcement from Crytek about a top-secret new project.

Don't worry about the Crysis team getting distracted, though, because the new game will be created by Crytek's recently-opened Kiev studio, says Crytek MD Faruk Yerli:

    "Our Kiev studio has been recruiting and growing for the past year and a half. The highly talented team that has undergone an intensive training period, and in that time they have made an invaluable contribution to our production in Frankfurt."

Yerli says the creation of an original intellectual property and a full game for it will push the Kiev group into "full studio status." More interestingly, he says that the project was started because the CryENGINE 2 middleware (the power behind Crysis) had been developed to the point where it can support "both different types and styles of games, and run on multiple platforms."

Could this new project be a whole new genre (i.e. other than FPS) for Crytek or the PS3 project they've been rumored to be developing for so long? More info your way as soon as we've got it!

[Pugnate]

[angrykeebler]

Thats it. I demand satisfaction. I say, I say I challenge you to a duel. Pistols at dawn, sir.

[Pugnate]

[angrykeebler]

Thats it. I demand satisfaction. I say, I say I challenge you to a duel. Pistols at dawn, sir.

[angrykeebler]

That is totally who I was thinking about when I wrote that. No joke.

[Pugnate]

Chickens think alike.

[angrykeebler]

You're the one who backed out sucka.

[Pugnate]

Fine we duel... When I win I will take your 360 elite.

[MysterD]

I wonder what Crytek is making.

Maybe a First-Person Action/RPG game?

[Pugnate]
