Development of Crysis 4 Temporarily Paused Due to Financial Difficulties

Author : Evelyn Mar 16,2025

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, Crytek revealed that development of the next Crysis game has been temporarily paused, a decision made during 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 were deemed necessary.

Crytek's future priorities include expanding content for Hunt: Showdown 1896, while the new Crysis game is indefinitely delayed. Affected employees will receive severance packages and career transition support.

Despite these challenges, Crytek remains positive about its future, committed to Hunt: Showdown 1896's continued development and advancement of its CRYENGINE technology.
