For the second time this year alone, Crystal Dynamics announced that they are laying off staff. In late March 2025, Crystal Dynamics laid off 17 team members. Today, several more members of Crystal Dynamics were laid off.
The announcement of the latest layoffs were made via the official Crystal Dynamics account on LinkedIn. Unliked the layoffs made in March, there was no firm number on how many were let go today. They only say that they had to part ways "with a number" of staff today.
The full statement can be found below if you don't care to visit LinkedIn.
Today we made the very difficult decision to part ways with a number of our talented colleagues as the result of evolving business conditions. This decision was not made lightly. It was necessary, however, to ensure the long-term health of our studio and core creative priorities in a continually shifting market.
