Natal's Milo to return in a bigger story

Molyneux teases the character's return.

One of the highlights of E3 2009 was the Peter Molyneux's demonstration of Project Natal and lifelike virtual boy Milo. At the conference Milo was seen interacting with the real world.

It would appear Milo is much more than a fancy demo to show off the capabilities of Natal, though. The acclaimed video game creator has hinted he'll return as part of a much larger project.

"I was very, very tight about what was actually being said about Milo and not being said about Milo. I think it did its job, Molyneux told IncGamers at Microsoft’s X10 event earlier this month.

"It made people look around and say 'How could you make a game out of a character like Milo?' And I think that question is still out there; I'm just not allowed to answer it."

Molyneux didn't leave it there, adding one further hint: "Milo is a character in a bigger and more dramatic story that we're telling."

Project Natal is scheduled for release for Xbox 360 this holiday season.
