Codename: Kingdoms is a "first-person melee Kinect game", according to a Gamasutra report on layoffs at developer Crytek Budapest.

An anonymous source told the site that Crytek is to lay off 30-35 workers at its Hungarian studio, which is said to be preparing to switch its focus from the Xbox 360 exclusive to tablet games.

Microsoft is said to have insisted Crytek relocate development of the Kinect game from Budapest to Crytek's Frankfurt studio, ahead of an E3 showing next month.

Crytek managing director Avni Yerli said in a statement: "We can confirm that our Budapest studio is getting a new direction and focus."

In January, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli told us that the title will push Xbox 360 "to its limits" and offer gamers "a genuinely new" interactive entertainment experience.

Wow... that was unexpected. Not what I was hoping for at all. You know you think when the game was announce with all the Kinect hype that E3 they would of said then it was a Kinect game. I mean I got a Kinect but I do not like moving while I play my games.
