Just now, German developer Crytek of "Crisis Island" and "Hunting: Showdown" tweeted, announcing a layoff plan, planning to lay off 15% of its 400 employees, and about 60 people will be affected.

In a tweet, Crytek said that while Hunter: Showdown is growing, the company can no longer continue as it used to be, nor can it remain financially sustainable.

Due to financial difficulties, Crytek has suspended the development of Crytek in the third quarter of last year, and transferred the developers of Crytek to Hunter: Showdown to reduce costs and expenses.

However, Crytek still has confidence in "Hunting: Showdown", the company said in a statement: "We firmly believe in the future of Crytek. With "Hunting: Showdown: Showdown 1896", we have strong gaming services and will continue to devote ourselves to it.Its operations. We will continue to expand and evolve Hunter: Showdown 1896 and the engine that drives us. "

Judging from the statement, Crytek seems to devote himself to the game "Hunting: Confrontation 1896". The game is an upgraded version of "Hunting: Confrontation" and was launched on August 15 last year.But the performance of this game is also very poor. Steam currently has only about 15,000 people online, making it difficult to support a large company.

Crytek Statement

Crytek is famous for creating the "Crisis Island Trilogy Series". "Crisis Island 1" was released in 2007. It is an epoch-making top-quality game. It is called the "graphics card killer" by players and has a glory.The latest work in the series, "Crisis 3", was released in February 2013, and then a replica was released in recent years.

In January 2022, Crytek announced "Crisis 4".

Last year, there were signs that Crytek had developed a battle royale game inspired by Crysis, codenamed Crysis Next, but Crytek never officially announced the game, and it should have been cancelled internally.

It is worth mentioning that during the development of the "Crisis Island" trilogy, Crytek has been working with EA, which may also provide development funds in addition to issuance.It was also after breaking up with EA that Crytek seemed to have contracted the "occupational disease" of other European and American game companies, and wanted to transform from a stand-alone game manufacturer to instant service games, but after years of struggle, this track is too rude.It's hard...even the big company Sony hasn't figured it out.
