Crytek has announced a restructuring that includes approximately 60 staff reductions, representing about 15% of its 400-person workforce. This follows financial challenges faced by the company.
Concurrently, Crytek revealed that development of the next Crysis game has been temporarily paused, a decision made during Q3 2024. The studio is now focusing all its resources on Hunt: Showdown 1896.
While Crytek explored reassigning staff to Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the upcoming Crysis title, this proved unfeasible. Despite cost-cutting measures, layoffs were deemed necessary.

Going forward, Crytek will concentrate on 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 future, committed to Hunt: Showdown 1896's continued development and advancements in CRYENGINE technology.
