Eidos and Pivotal announce Crossfire

Pivotal Games, the developer behind the hit Conflict series, has announced Crossfire, a new game IP set to debut on the Xbox 360.

"Being able to develop a true next generation title is always both exciting and challenging," said Darren Barnett, development director at publisher Eidos.

"We are able to utilise the power of Xbox 360 in so many different areas, such as making use of true next-gen lighting techniques, designing fully destructible environments and really exploiting the game's concepts into new multiplayer areas with Xbox Live."

"Crossfire will offer a new approach to the next-gen FPS genre," he concluded.

The title will be published by Eidos and is due for release in 2007.
