Crytek cuts 15 more jobs from the publishing team at its Frankfurt office

Crytek’s downsizing continues, and this time it’s the company’s publishing team that is dealing with the pain.

The company announced today that it is laying off 15 people from its publishing team in its Frankfurt, Germany headquarters. These staffers worked on Crytek’s Warface free-to-play shooter, which did not caught on with a significant audience. This is part of an ongoing reshuffling at the publisher following financial difficulties where it failed to pay some employees for months at a time before shuttering five studios, and Crytek claims it will now move ahead with a more streamlined structure and a focus on its “core competencies.” Those include making games and creating technology for the CryEngine development toolkit.
