The new shooter part Crysis 4 is currently on ice - also because the workforce has to be put together at Crytek.
Crytek's continuation should have been continued by Crytek, the former graphically so opulent shooter-shower series Crysis 4, but it does not become anything at first for the moment. The developer studio has now confirmed that the work has been completely on ice since the third quarter of 2024 and have not been continued.
Background: Crytek also has to struggle with financial difficulties and - as actually felt the entire video game industry - has to start the red pencil. After the previous efforts for cost savings have not been sufficient, the dismissal of around 15 percent of a total of 400 employees in the studio was now announced; Around 60 employees are affected and will have to look around for a new job in the future.
The wave of discharge is described as "inevitable" so that Crytek can go the way into the future. One is not immune to the unfavorable and complex market dynamics; Despite everything, the decision was by no means made lightly.
As for Crysis 4, the work was put on hold in the third quarter of 2024 to withdraw developers to Hunt: Showdown 1896. This title is currently growing, but apparently not enough to record sufficient financial resources so that the layoffs could have been avoided.
It is not known whether and when it continues with Crysis 4, which was originally announced by teaser in 2022.
