Development

In June 2012, Phil Spencer, corporate VP of Microsoft Studios, maintained that the game was still in development. When asked whether it was still a Kinect game, Spencer replied "Kinect will be part of the game, absolutely", leading to speculation that it was no longer a Kinect-only game, and was instead part of the "Better with Kinect" series of Xbox 360 games.[3]
In May 2013, after the announcement of the Xbox One, Ryse was confirmed to be an exclusive for the new console.[4] In June 2013 at the E3 Microsoft Conference, Crytek showed a game-play video.
