Microsoft Preparing to Unveil Rare’s Multiple Projects; Twisted Pixel Working on “Different” Original Game

by Chris Harding (19 minutes ago) 0 

Aaron Greenberg recently jumped the pond to merry little England to have a nosey around Microsoft’s UK-based developers, one of which was Rare who are working on something for the Xbox One.

When asked about what Rare are working on and if they’re developing more than one title, Greenberg confirmed that the UK-based developer is working on multiple games and that the firm are preparing to unveil them to the public.

It’s going through the process of preparing to unveil their next things, they have multiple projects in development and we feel really good about them.

There have also been a few rumours circulating that Rare and fellow Microsoft studio Twisted Pixel would be working together on a project, though it seems that rumor has been quashed by Aaron Greenberg who also spoke on the subject of what Twisted Pixel are working on.

Twisted Pixel is not working on a game with any other internal studios.

They have an exciting project they’re working on as well, very unexpected and very different and we’ll just wait to surprise people with what it is.

When asked if Twisted Pixel’s next game would be a AAA title Greenberg didn’t give a definitive answer but did comment on what he thinks of their new original game.

“I don’t know, I just think of a game as a game. They’ve made a lot of great games,” said Greenberg. “They’re doing something different, I wouldn’t classify by size, I just think it’s different and innovative.”

So there you have it. Rare are working solo and Twisted Pixel are working on something original and different. Maybe we’ll get to see something at this year’s E3, or perhaps a little sooner.

Multiple Rare projects with a reveal coming soon? Very nice


I'm excited to see what they have up their sleeves. Battletoads could be this year.



Hololens Sports season 1 & 2 hype!

lol but seriously I'm excited, it's time for a comeback.



Give me Kameo! One of the best platformers ever.



Excellent. Rare have a great stable of IPs and hopefully we'll see some of them at E3.

Gonna try to not get excited though...but this is very promising.

why multiple ?

have they thousands of people working on big games or are we talking about small low budget games ?

They most likely have a big team working on a AAA title and smaller teams working on smaller projects.



We'll see about that, hopefully real games like Battletoads not kinect sport.

There's probably a main team working on their major project, and then a couple of smaller teams working on side projects (be they download titles, helping out other devs etc.)

Hopefully we'll see more soon.

Rare's got some projects in the works? Alright Rare, let's see if you still got it... >; )
