Continuing in our exclusive chat with Crytek's Cevat Yerli the studio boss says that, while they do have "a few console games in the works" right now, they could transition away from those platforms.

It all comes down to whether or not these platform holders can "house our business models," noted Yerli, referring to the studio's shift toward free-to-play as the future of the company.

It means nothing. Any new game PC exclusive or no will be prioritized based on how much money it can get. The gameplay will stay true to that as well.

The best days of Crytek are behind us.

I'd rather get a 'normal' multiplatform game than a F2P (Aka P2W, no exceptions besides TF2) PC exclusive.

Aww I'm sure lots of people will be disappointed if Ryse doesn't get released... not that we've seen much to raise excitement.

Yeah maybe, but they aren't trying to build up any hype for it at all :/

Does this just mean they're full of crap? :/ I doubt Ryse would be good on PC with motion sensing tech
