If LinkedIn profiles are anything to bet the farm on, German game developer Crytek may be working on a massively multiplayer online title.
At the very least, two employees directly mention it in their profiles, one writing that he is actively working on the infrastructure for “an MMO online game,” the other (an ex-employee) having once mentioned he’s working on a “Not announced Online MMO FPS.” (The latter profile has since been updated to remove that specific reference.)
Crytek also recently acquired a host of URLs, all including the word “Kingdoms.” While “Kingdoms” might be a great name for an MMO, keep in mind that Crytek also recently purchased Black Sea Studios, renaming it Crytek Black Sea. Black Sea has previously worked on the historical real-time strategy title, Knights of Honor; it’s not a stretch to think that “Kingdoms” may somehow be related to an unannounced Black Sea project.
This is all mostly my own speculation of course, but really, wouldn’t a CryEngine 3-powered real-time strategy game be kind of rad?
