Crackdown 2 studio may be crafting Ryse multiplayer mode

Remember Ruffian Games? The chaps who chopped out a Crackdown sequel in eight months which, miraculously enough, wasn't the gameplay equivalent of cow cud? They've got a few things on the boil, though sadly, Crackdown 3 appears to be off the cards for the moment.

Writing on Kotaku, Twitter hero Superannuation has dug up CVs and LinkedIn profiles which point to Ruffian work on Nike+ Kinect Training (blurgh), Kinect Star Wars (blurrrrrrrrgh) and "an unannounced Kinect title" for Crytek which features "multiplayer arenas".

Said "first party Crytek project which [Ruffian] were contracted onto" is "focussed [sic] on melee combat [with] AI capable of evaluating dynamic combat situations and working as part of a team."

Anything to declare on the Ryse front, Crytek? Or is there some other first-person Kinect 'em up you're working on?
