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, development of the next Crysis game has been temporarily paused, a decision made during the third quarter of 2024. Crytek is now focusing all resources on Hunt: Showdown 1896.
The company explored reassigning staff to other projects, including Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the upcoming Crysis title, but this proved unfeasible despite cost-cutting measures. Layoffs were deemed necessary.

Crytek will prioritize expanding content for Hunt: Showdown 1896, while the new Crysis game is indefinitely delayed. Affected employees will receive severance packages and career transition support. Crytek remains committed to Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the continued development of its CRYENGINE technology.
