Crytek (Far Cry, Crysis) has been working in secret on an Xbox 360-exclusive title for quite some time now, and the only hint of its existence that we’ve received was with a teaser trailer last year, and a name: Codename Kingdoms.

Today during Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference, not only was the game’s official title revealed, but a new trailer was also released along with the news that it is to make extensive use of the Xbox 360’s Kinect.

Ryse is the game’s name, and in it, you’ll “Be the warrior” in a “cinematic, visceral, action-packed experience that brings ancient Rome to life through the stunning visuals and innovative gameplay that Crytek is famous for.”

“Ryse defines what’s next on Xbox 360 by creating a truly immersive experience that only Kinect can enable.”

The debut trailer for Ryse is ultra intriguing, and shows an ancient Roman setting ravaged by war, and follows up some lush visuals with a demonstration of how the Kinect functionality will be incorporated:
