Crytek has announced a restructuring that includes a reduction in its workforce. Approximately 60 employees, representing about 15% of its 400-person team, will be laid off due to financial challenges.
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 impractical. Despite cost-cutting measures, layoffs were deemed necessary.

Crytek's future plans prioritize expanding content for Hunt: Showdown 1896, while the new Crysis game is indefinitely delayed. Affected employees will receive severance packages and career support.
Despite these challenges, Crytek remains positive about its future, committed to Hunt: Showdown 1896's continued development and the advancement of its CRYENGINE technology.
