The Crossing


Recommended Posts

A new offer found at Arkane Studios' job opening page has revealed that the Dark Messiah of Might & Magic developer plans to bring The Crossing to the Xbox 360. The Crossing is the world's first "cross-play" shooter that fuses single player with multiplayer.

What is exactly "cross play"? Well, imagine that in Gears of War, which featured drop-in/drop-out co-op for a friend to take on Dominic Santiago, any Xbox Live player could either take the place of a Locust or a Gears squad member while you are playing the campaign mode. Arkane Studios explains that The Crossing is a first-person shooter that allows players to take on any NPC. That sounds to me like next-generation multiplayer!

The game, which is powered by Valve Software's Source Engine, takes place in Paris, across time and multiple dimensions, in a world where Knights Templar have survived 1307.
