The guys from Team Xbox pointed us towards the Crytek job openings page. On this page there’s an opening for someone who can Maintain (optimization, adding new features) the existing CryENGINE 2 graphics system and assist in porting the source code from PC platform to the new gen console platforms (Xenon, PS3). Based on these facts we can assume a game with the Crytek 2 engine will be available on the next generation systems. But this doesn’t necessarily mean this will be Crysis although it’s very likely.

Requirements

• Maintain (optimization, adding new features) the existing CryENGINE 2 graphics system.
• Assist in porting the source code from PC platform to the new gen console platforms (Xenon, PS3).
• Assist in design of the graphics system and/or the animation system for the new gen console platforms (Xenon, PS3).
• Develop and maintain the graphics system and/or the animation system for the new gen console platforms (Xenon, PS3).
• Develop well designed software within project schedule to team standards as directed by Lead Programmer.
  Document source code.
• Continue to enhance programming and communications skills.
• Actively participate in team working on project by making recommendations on how to improve product quality as well as group productivity.
• Provide input to department project status meetings.
• Directly responsible for adhering to all company policies and procedures.
• Perform any other duties as assigned by manager with accountability and responsibility defined prior to the commencement of these duties.
• Develop and participate in the creation of a TDD with supervision.
• Coordinate with other studio groups including art and production to achieve project objectives.
• Assist in the specifics of programming architecture.
• Assist in the development and inclusion of new technologies.

Pluses:

• C# knowledge

• Complete all tasks in a timely manner and to a consistent high quality standard

I can’t stress enough this is not an official announcement, but only a rumor based on the job openings page. Crysis is coming to the PC somewhere late 2006.
