In the third quarter of 2024, the studio was forced to suspend the development of Crysis 4, and now about 400 employees have affected mass reductions. The company noted that despite the reduction in expenses and operating costs, dismissal became an inevitable step to ensure further financial stability. The injured workers will be offered weekends and support in the search for a new job.
