Crytek announced a restructuring impacting approximately 60 employees, representing about 15% of its 400-person workforce. This reduction is a response to financial challenges. Concurrently, development of the next Crysis game has been temporarily paused, a decision made in 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, unfortunately, became necessary.

Crytek’s future priorities include expanding Hunt: Showdown 1896 content, while the new Crysis game is indefinitely delayed. Affected employees will receive severance and career transition support. Crytek remains committed to Hunt: Showdown 1896's continued development and advancement of its CRYENGINE technology.
