Do it for the culture Microsoft.

I think crytek owns the IP so I guess it's really up them at this point.

I don't think MS is going to pursue it.

 

[Zyae]

It was a pretty ok launch game. Multiplayer was fun. There's potential there.

agreed

 

[ChosenPredator]

played the hell out of ryse , it felt like going to the arcade playing that game, I would dig Ryse: Ronin

some samurai version form of it.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

We need MS and Crytek to kiss and makeup and make an eye-melting Ryse 2 for Scorpio, dammit.

 

[Sydle]

The ending of Ryse left me pretty excited where they could take a series. Shame MS and Crytek couldn't work it out. With more variety in enemies and combat it seems like there was potential for a really great sequel.

I think the IP is dead though, or at least we won't see it return anytime soon.

Do it for the culture Microsoft.

MS wanted to fund a sequel, but only on the condition they could own the IP. Crytek said no and MS walked away.

 

[gafneo]

Its real because who would lie about a Ryse sequel? Only a select few of people like me would care.

 

[takriel]

Lord Vader?

Yes, Master?

Ryse, the Empire!

 

[BrettHeazy]

I'm in for it!

 

[Yoday]

I would love a sequel, the first one was a lot of fun, and the setting was amazing. It's too bad this is likely fake and a sequel is unlikely to ever happen, as Ryse had a great chance of becoming a new franchise for MS. Who knows though, maybe Crytek let the licence go after getting into troubled times?

 

[Alienous]

Microsoft ought to be hiring Crytek for a Scorpio exclusive, and a Ryse 2 would fit that bill.

 

[Castef]

Ryse belongs to that company that can't pay their worker, doesn't it?

They could pay them if they'll do Ryse 2.

 

[dafodeu]

Yes, please. I love me some Ryse. It would save Crytek from all their financial troubles and they'd finally be able to pay employees on time with all that Ryse sequel money.

 

[Noobcraft]

I'd be in for a sequel. I bought Ryse for like $15 and it was definitely worth it. It's a somewhat underrated title imo that caught more flak than it deserved from reviewers. It has flaws, and could definitely use more enemy variety, but it was a good time throughout.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

As a bystander how thought the gameplay in the first game looked awful, this was my reaction after seeing the thread title as well.

 

[whiteape]

Of course they'll name it 'Ryse: The Empyre'.

 

[Madness]

Is ryse any good? saw a lot of initial flack for being a lackluster game filled with qte, but steam reviews it favorably

I recently played the hell out of it. Some of the best looking designs for Rome I have seen. Each level was varied. Things like the Brittania forests at night, seeing Rome during a sunset near villas, storming beaches during conquest against the briton barbarians, the forests etc.

Game was short, some frustrating sections, and janky gameplay at times, but a sequel would be great.

 

[NorthAndSouth]

The game wasn't too bad, just a little overhyped and a bit too average on release. It was definitely gorgeous though and I wouldn't mind a sequel. Would just need to temper expectations.

Yep, it's a fake rumor.

[marmoka]

Wasn't Crytek having monetary problems in the latest year? I hope everything went back to normal.

 

[Hektor]

Making a sequel would not be very ryze

 

[NeoRaider]

It looks fake BUT i would be so happy if this is true.
Loved Ryse and finished it twice!

 

[Tovarisc]

Wasn't Crytek having monetary problems in the latest year? I hope everything went back to normal.

Haven't they been in quite big financial troubles for years now?

 

[Head.spawn]

I hope it's real.

 

[HAWDOKEN]

I'd like a sequel. I don't understand why Crytek wouldn't sell the IP if they are having financial trouble.

 

[jaypah]

Ryse was a game. It didn't crash on me and it looked nice.

 

[Last Prime]

I hope this is true. I also wouldn't mind having a game centered around Damocles.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Surely not real, but would be awesome. Ryse was great.

 

[Last Prime]

I'd like a sequel. I don't understand why Crytek wouldn't sell the IP if they are having financial trouble.

I don't understand this either. Yet they sold Homefront to Deep Silver.

 

[Ushay]

Looks like total bollocks to me.

 

[Calm Killer]

Nope.

Just what he said, but exactly the opposite. I loved it.

There was a planned sequel that was canceled back in the day. This might be from that....

Here is a link.

 

[Lashley]

I wouldn't mind a Ryse sequel

 

[BleedOrange]

As a bystander how thought the gameplay in the first game looked awful, this was my reaction after seeing the thread title as well.

I never played it but from what I hear it was a fun game. I think it got pretty unfairly maligned due to it being announced as an exclusive to a VERY unpopular platform at the time.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I'd love a sequel, but unfortunately I don't see it happening.

 

[Johnohno]

What happened to Ryse: Knights of England that was trademarked around release of the first game? I'm assuming that died with the breakup of MS and Crytek? Shame as I enjoyed the first game.

 

[EmiPrime]

Ryse is an okay game that could have a great sequel without being hamstrung by a strict launch deadline and a platform change (arguably two platform changes given it used to be a Kinect game).

I hope it gets the chance to become a franchise even if this rumour seems dubious.

 

[Consequence]

I mean, a Ryse sequel as a Scorpio launch title as a visual showpiece again would make sense.

 

[robotrock]

Knack 2 makes a ton more sense than a Ryse 2

 

[dcx4610]

Ryse was criminally underrated. It's pretty much a beat em up game with swords and it gets a little repetitive but I thought the acting and story was fine and the graphics are still amazing especially on PC. I welcome a sequel.

 

[Anteater]

ryse was good for the 5 bucks I spent on it

i'm ready for a sequel

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Just want to chime into say that the co op horde mode was pretty great as well, me and a pal put an awful lot of time into that mode.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Probably bullshit but I'd be there day one on a Ryse sequel.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I would love a sequel if done right. The first game had a lot of potential, which was squandered with some really terrible and samey gameplay/combat. The game needed to be much stronger in that dept, and it wasn't. I hope this turns out to be true.

 

[Unity2012]

I'd be there day one. Ryse gladiator mode, executions and scenarios are so much fun.

 

[ScientificPizza]

idk about this rumour but i'd love a ryse sequel

 

[il Diavolo]

add more depth to the campaign and expand the multiplayer. first game was solid just extremely shallow.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I doubt it. There was a guy on r/Xboxone trying to push this yesterday. Did a second post exclaiming "he responded!" People started question it's validity and the guy deleted both posts.

None of that definitive proof of anything, but at the time it all felt like a con.

 

[Caddyshack]

I suspect we'll be hearing similar rumours about sequels to The Order and Sunset Overdrive in the coming weeks. That Knack 2 shocker took us all by surprise I think.

That's probably SenjutsuSage.

lol

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I never played it but from what I hear it was a fun game. I think it got pretty unfairly maligned due to it being announced as an exclusive to a VERY unpopular platform at the time.

I watched a few gameplay videos and what I could describe from those was literally "press A to awesome".

Maybe the final game was better, though.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

I would love a sequel.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I watched a few gameplay videos and what I could describe from those was literally "press A to awesome".

Maybe the final game was better, though.

It was much better than that at its highest difficulty. It actually became a challenge juggling and changing combo boosts on the fly.

Also some of the best transitions from cutscenes to actual gameplay I've ever seen. Also enjoyed the story.
