Techland has announced the development of a Chrome sequel, disclosing that a yet-unnamed game based on the latest version of Chrome Engine will be released for the PC and a next-gen platform.

Pawel Marchewka – Techland’s CEO said : “We made a decision to begin production of Chrome sequel early in 2005, however the pre-production really started in the beginning of this year. Now, when Call of Juarez – our currently most important project enters beta phase, part of the team may redirect its work to first stages of Chrome sequel development. For some time now we are experimenting with interesting concepts taken form books, comics and sci-fi movies that at this point were never ported into video games or were ported without success. Basing on the few first elements we prototyped for the next part of Chrome we think it will revolutionize sci-fi games, allowing players to experience brand new content and original gameplay.”

The announcement also stated that the game will feature a single-player campaign as well as multiplayer squad-based play for up to 64 players. No release date for the project was set.
