Crystal Dynamics, which is currently working on a new game of a perfect Dark Reboot and Tamb Rider, has announced a holiday for 17 employees.
“This morning, Crystal Dynamics made a difficult decision to reduce our workforce through 17 talented members of the team,” the studio said in a message posted. X. “We did not make this decision lightly. Finally, this move was necessary to improve its current business needs and the future success of the studio. This is not a reflection of the dedication or ability of the affected people.”
The last five years have not been kind to the crystal dynamics. Marvel’s Avengers, direct service superhero games that were debuted in 2020 (and the last big project of the CD) performed poorly and were removed from sales just three years later. Meanwhile, the studio itself was acquired by Embresser in 2022, and when Tamb Raider was finally put into the hands of the studio, it was also less than a year before the notorious Billion of the throat billion 2 billion “rough night”, in which several studios were closed and closed.
As the game industry holidays run, 17 are not a huge number, at least when compared to tens of thousands of people who have been excluded from work for the past few years. It is obvious that there is no comfort for those who have been given, nor does it look like a sign for a studio, especially a sign that has to do a lot in every way.
Crystal Dynamics is currently developing a joint development of perfect dark ribot with this move. He has also found a new Tamb rider on the go, which is the first new addition to the series after Shadow of the Tom Rider in 2018, though nothing has been heard since the revelation of Character Art in the early 2024. It has recently worked with Asper on the heritage of the old Tom Rider sports remasters and the cans River.
The studio said that the sixths. “Our current project plans will not change.”
