Crysis 4 Development Halted Amid Financial Woes

by Ellie Feb 25,2025

Crytek Announces Restructuring, Layoffs, and Crysis Game Delay

Crytek has announced a restructuring plan involving staff reductions and a temporary halt to the development of the next Crysis game. The company, facing financial difficulties, has laid off approximately 60 employees, representing about 15% of its 400-person workforce.

This restructuring was announced alongside the news that development on the next Crysis title has been paused, a decision reportedly made in Q3 2024. Crytek is now focusing all its resources on the continued development and expansion of Hunt: Showdown 1896.

The company explored options to reassign affected employees to other projects, including Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the upcoming Crysis game, but ultimately determined this wasn't feasible. Despite cost-cutting measures, layoffs were deemed necessary.

Crytek's future plans involve prioritizing content updates for Hunt: Showdown 1896, while the new Crysis game's release has been indefinitely postponed. The company assures that departing employees will receive appropriate severance packages and career support services.

Despite the challenges, Crytek remains positive about its long-term prospects, emphasizing its commitment to Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the continued advancement of its CRYENGINE technology.
