Crysis 4 “on hold” as Crytek lays off 15% of staff

60 employees have been let go.

Crytek has placed Crysis 4 “on hold” at the same time it has laid off 60 staff members, or approximately 15% of its workforce.

“Like so many of our peers, we aren’t immune to the complex, unfavorable market dynamics that have hit our industry these past several years,” a Crytek wrote on social media. “The layoffs affect development teams and shared services.

“This has not been an easy decision to make, as we deeply appreciate the hard work of our talented teams,” the statement continued. “After putting the development of the next Crysis game on hold in Q3 2024, we have been trying to shift developers over to Hunt Showdown 1896.”

Our best to those impacted by this, the most recent of a wave of layoffs impacting the industry.
