Layoffs in sight An anonymous source close to but apparently Crytek Budapest (if not internal) has revealed to Gamasutra that the secondment of Crytek Hungary would face difficulties. Apparently, there are about 30-35 redundancies in sight and the main project on which the team was working on, or the still mysterious Codename: Kingdoms for Microsoft, it will move the team at headquarters in Frankfurt.
The layoffs would be in fact a direct result of moving the project, a "sudden decision" that apparently was made by Microsoft Game Studios to publish details without explanation. The Budapest team will continue to focus on titles for tablet and Crytek will try to keep focused on Codename: Kingdoms that should be present at E3.
