1896 developers at Crytek, the team behind Hunt: Showdown, have announced that they’ll be letting go approximately 15% of their staff members, affecting roughly 400 individuals.
As a gamer, I’m sharing some news that hit the gaming community hard. In a recent update, Crytek announced they’re joining the unfortunate list of studios affected by the challenging market conditions, leading to the tough decision of letting go of around 400 team members from their development teams and shared services.
What’s more, the production of the next Crysis game has been paused until Q3 2024, and in a bid to keep things moving, they’re directing their efforts towards Hunt: Showdown 1896 instead.
Crytek acknowledged that layoffs might be unavoidable if the company needed to progress. They had already taken steps to reduce costs and trim operational expenses, but these efforts didn’t yield the desired results. To support the employees impacted by this decision, the developer of Hunt: Showdown will offer severance packages and provide career guidance services.
Crytek asserts that Hunt Showdown: 1896 delivers a robust gaming experience. Consequently, they are dedicated to maintaining and nurturing its operation, promising further development and growth through additional content. Their dedication to the CryEngine technology remains unwavering as well.
2025 has unfortunately been a challenging year for the gaming industry as studios like Crytek join the list of those letting go of employees. Preceded by Rocksteady, Microsoft, Unity, Ubisoft, and others, it appears this trend of job losses isn’t slowing down anytime soon. As a dedicated fan, I can only hope for the industry’s stability and growth in the coming years.
