Crytek has announced a restructuring that includes the reduction of its workforce by approximately 60 employees, representing about 15% of its 400-person team. This comes as the company addresses financial challenges.

Simultaneously, Crytek revealed that development of the next Crysis game has been temporarily paused, a decision made during the third quarter of 2024. The studio is now focusing all its resources on Hunt: Showdown 1896.

While Crytek explored reassigning affected staff to other projects like Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the upcoming Crysis title, this proved unfeasible 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. The company assures affected employees will receive comprehensive severance packages and career support.

Despite these challenges, Crytek remains positive about its long-term prospects, focusing on Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the continued development of its CRYENGINE technology.
