Crytek, the creators of Hunt: Showdown 1896, have revealed that they are letting go of 15% of their employees. This news was shared through a post on social media platform X, where they explained that this decision was made to concentrate their resources solely on Hunt: Showdown following the temporary halt in development for a new Crysis game.
Unfortunately, it’s with a heavy heart that we announce today the necessity to let go of approximately 15% of our current workforce, which numbers around 400 people. The cuts impact both development teams and shared services. This was not an easy choice; we value the dedication and skill of our team members immensely. Following the postponement of the next Crysis game in Q3 2024, we have been trying to reassign developers to work on Hunt: Showdown 1896 instead.
In their announcement, Crytek acknowledged that the job cuts were a necessary step for the company, even though they’ve been diligent in trying to stay financially stable through cost-cutting measures. However, they are providing severance packages and career support services for those employees who are affected by these layoffs.
In the future, Crytek plans to invest heavily in developing and enhancing “Hunt: Showdown 1896,” providing additional content and updates. This commitment extends to refining their own CRYENGINE, the software powering the game.
As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to express my unwavering faith in the future of Crytek. With the immersive experience that is Hunt: Showdown 1896, we’ve got a gaming gem on our hands and I’m fully invested in keeping it running smoothly. We’re not just maintaining this game, but also continually enriching and evolving it with fresh, captivating content. This commitment to Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a key part of our broader strategy for our engine, CRYENGINE.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
