Dark Messiah developer Arkane Studios is developing its next project, The Crossing, for Xbox 360 in addition to PC.

The dev's slipped out this platform tidbit in a job offer on its website, in which it states they're on the lookout for an Xbox 360 programmer to work on "The Crossing, our remarkably innovative 'cro🌼ssplayer' FPS for PC and Xbox 360."

In The Crossing, Arkane is delivering an action game that blends single-player with multiplayer, players playing multiplayer able to leap into the single-player game and int🃏o the shoes of NPCs normally powered by AI. Or, on the flip-side of the coin, single-player players can, for example, suddenly be confronted with enemies ൩controlled by another human being.

Above: Kinky scenarios such as this might be available on the 360 port. No word on a Hot Coffee problem with the PC version though

The game's storyline is a "wha𒆙t if?" scenario, with the collapse of the French government and parallel universes involving the Knights Templar - i.e. what if the order wasn't disbanded in the 1300s? - at the heart of the plot.

Will Arkane opt for cross-platform The Crossing𝐆 on PC and Xbox 360? Seems♔ that way. We hope to have an official announcement in the near future.
