Crysis 4 'On Hold' alors que le développeur Crytek annonce des licenciements affectant jusqu'à 60 employés

Auteur:Kristen Mise à jour:Mar 05,2025

Crytek, confronté à des conditions de marché difficiles, annonce des licenciements ayant un impact sur environ 15% de ses effectifs, totalisant 60 employés sur 400. Bien que leur titre populaire, Hunt: Showdown , continue de croître, la société déclare que le maintien de sa structure opérationnelle actuelle est financièrement non durable.

Dans un communiqué publié par le fondateur Avni Yerli, Crytek explique qu'après avoir arrêté le développement du prochain jeu Crysis au troisième trimestre 2024 et le déplacement des ressources à la chasse: les mesures de réduction des coûts se sont révélées insuffisantes pour empêcher les licenciements. Les employés touchés recevront des forfaits indemniques et un soutien professionnel.

Les licenciements ont un impact sur diverses équipes de développement et services partagés. Crytek réitère son engagement à chasser: épreuve de force , prometteur des mises à jour continue et contenu. Ils restent également dédiés à leur technologie CryEngine.

La nouvelle suit Crysis ensuite à l'inverse et par la suite annulé, un projet inspiré de Battle Royale. Ce projet a été abandonné en faveur de Crysis 4 , annoncé en janvier 2022, qui est actuellement en attente.

La franchise Crysis , réputée pour ses graphiques visuellement époustouflants, ses capacités de nanosuit innovantes et son gameplay en monde ouvert, a vu pour la dernière fois une version principale avec Crysis 3 en 2013. Bien que les remasters de titres précédents aient été publiés, les mises à jour sur Crysis 4 ont été rares depuis son annonce initiale trois ans auparavant. L'original Crysis (2007) est devenu une référence pour les capacités matérielles PC, donnant naissance à la phrase populaire, "mais peut-elle exécuter Crysis?"

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
