Crytek Announces Restructuring, Layoffs, and Crysis Game Delay
Crytek has confirmed a company restructuring resulting in the layoff of approximately 60 employees, representing about 15% of its 400-person workforce. This follows financial difficulties faced by the company.
Simultaneously, Crytek announced a temporary halt to development on the next Crysis game, a decision made in Q3 2024. The studio is now focusing all its resources on Hunt: Showdown 1896.
While Crytek explored reassigning staff to other projects, including Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the future Crysis title, this proved impractical. Despite cost-cutting measures, layoffs were deemed necessary.

Crytek's future plans involve expanding Hunt: Showdown 1896 content, while the new Crysis game is indefinitely delayed. Affected employees will receive severance packages and career support. Crytek remains positive about its long-term prospects, emphasizing continued development of Hunt: Showdown 1896 and its CRYENGINE technology.
