Crytek Announces Restructuring and Layoffs

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 experienced by the company.

Simultaneously, Crytek announced a temporary halt to development of the next Crysis game, a decision made in Q3 2024. The studio is now focusing all its resources on Hunt: Showdown 1896. While exploring options to reassign staff to existing projects proved infeasible, despite cost-cutting measures, layoffs were deemed necessary.
