Crytek, the renowned game developer, has announced a significant restructuring, including the layoff of approximately 60 employees, which constitutes about 15% of its 400-strong workforce. This decision comes as the company grapples with financial difficulties, necessitating these internal staff reductions.
In a related development, Crytek has also confirmed that the production of the eagerly awaited next installment in the Crysis series has been put on hold. This decision was made during the third quarter of 2024, and the studio is now focusing its efforts on the continued development of Hunt: Showdown 1896.
The company explored the option of reallocating its workforce to ongoing projects such as Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the upcoming Crysis game. However, this strategy proved unfeasible. Despite efforts to cut costs through other means, Crytek determined that layoffs were inevitable.

Looking ahead, Crytek's primary focus will be on enriching the content for Hunt: Showdown 1896. Meanwhile, fans of the Crysis franchise will have to wait longer, as the new Crysis game has been postponed indefinitely. Crytek has committed to providing severance packages and career transition assistance to the employees affected by the layoffs.
Despite these challenges, Crytek remains hopeful about its future. The company is dedicated to enhancing Hunt: Showdown 1896 and further developing its CRYENGINE technology.
