It may now be eight years old, but Crytek's Xbox console exclusive Ryse: Son of Rome is back in the news once again, with fans showing their support for the game on social media and asking for a sequel.
The reason it's being talked about is because some eagled-eyed viewers thought they spotted a tease for Ryse in the most recent Xbox "future of gaming" trailer, but to be honest we think that's probably clutching at straws a little.
Regardless of whether it's a tease or not, it's brought the topic of Ryse back to the forefront. There's been plenty of discussion in the Xbox community, with many fans highlighting how they'd love to see a sequel at some point:

It's been suggested for a long time now that Ryse could eventually get a sequel, and about a year ago, leaked Crytek documents suggested a project called "Ryse Next" was actually in the works at some point.
Then, back in April, Xbox Era podcaster Shpeshal Ed also mentioned that a new Ryse was supposedly in development, and it seemed like it was going to be a multiplatform game. So you never know... that picture above could be a tease!
In our view, it'd be great to see a sequel to the Xbox One launch title, or at least an Xbox Series X|S optimisation for it.

Ryse has so much potential, I really enjoyed the first game. Upon release it didn't sell well neither did it get good reviews. In my opinion it's very underrated. Would love a Ryse sequel.
I love Ryse. I only played it last year when I finally got an Xbox again and really enjoyed it, the combat is so fun. It wasn’t a perfect game, and it was really linear which I’m fine with not everything has to be open world. I’m here for a sequel.
I’d love a sequel to this and The Order 1886 on PlayStation. They’re both in a similar situation.
Sequel would be cool, but if the words "open-world" are anywhere near it, I'm out.
rise looked great and story was ok but im sorry gameplay wise was poor
Why would it have to be tied to Ryse? Just make a new Rome-themed IP that does everything better.
I'd love Pure Xbox to support the release of Project Zero Maiden of Black Water. The cult franchise returned today after many years of absolutely nothing.
"Shpeshal Ed", Shpeshal Nick's evil twin. Don't trust that guy
Would absolutely love play Ryse 2.
Willing bet we'd see Titanfall 3 before Ryse 2.
Pray I'm wrong. Also pray for Titanfall 3.
I'm holding on playing Ryse since forever, now, cause I'm waiting for a 60 fps boot patch ! Maybe soon ?
@Bobobiwan sadly I doubt it. Unless it gets an fps boost and they seem to have disappeared.
No seriously, think of all of the franchises Microsoft abandoned last gen. It's legitimately ridiculous.
I really enjoyed Ryse and would love to see a sequel. Hopefully the rumours are true...
I would definitely take a Ryse 2. This was my first game played on my series X and it was glorious.
ryse and quantum brake are 2 of the most underated gems of the last gen! Amazing games! a 60pfs update will be nice and of cource sequels must be made to those gems.
Microsoft really should just buy crytek. They have been struggling it seems so a 1st party budget on ryse 2 or whatever they wanted to make would be good for them.
I think the game had a ton of potential but the controls and actual gameplay drove me away after about 5 hours I just got fed up. I guess I’ll just have to wait until assassins creed does a Roman based game.

I grabbed it myself to show my support.
Digital-only release right now at I think £31.99.
It's games like this that Koei Tecmo usually skip Xbox, so hopefully enough people get behind it so they continue support for the platform.
@blinx01 Thank you! I pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition, hoping that the other games (except the 3DS spin-off) are remastered 😁. My favourite is 2 but they all are great and underrated and there is nothing like this series so it's a shame Pure Xbox don't even mention it.
@BlueOcean
Yeah, I did find it a bit odd the site hasn't even mentioned the game.
Perfect to play over the Halloween period!
@blinx01 Yes, especially considering how many articles they publish about insignificant details of the same games.
I had never heard of this game before I went to Game midnight launch for xbox. Stood in shop que drinking free coke etc looking forward to playing the demos they had set up and saw this.
I thought wow where has that come from.
Needless to say as well as my pre orders a brand new shiny Ryse also came home.
Fluid, great mechanics, graphics and double finish in Coliseum teamed with a friend was epic.
