Crystal Dynamics has announced a reduction in staff. The decision, which studio representatives called "difficult", was made to "better align with current business needs and ensure the company's future success".
We did not make this decision lightly. It does not reflect the dedication or professionalism of the employees affected.
The studio also promised to support the laid-off workers by providing them with monetary compensation and assistance in finding new employment opportunities.
Crystal Dynamics emphasized that the reductions will not affect current projects, including the development of the new installment of Tomb Raider, which is being created in collaboration with Amazon Games.
The new Tomb Raider, which does not yet have an official title, is in the early stages of development and will continue the story of Lara Croft.
