Crystal Dynamics did not escape the downsizing either, which the Embracer Group implemented in order to operate more efficiently A Tomb Raider-series development team had to part with ten people The studio tries to support the dismissed developers in everything
Back in June, the Embracer Group, which gathers more and more teams under its umbrella, announced that it would begin massive downsizing as part of a “transformation program”, which would at best “only” mean layoffs, but even complete teams could fall victim to the “purging” – the Saints Row is in Red Faction-series developers could tell us something about this. Despite the reorganization, a lot of games are being made in the ranks of the studios connected to the company, including a new one Tomb Raider, which, as usual, is being developed by Crystal Dynamics (with the involvement of Amazon Games), that is, the team that has not yet been affected by layoffs. And the emphasis is on “so far”, a Perfect Dark a brigade that also assists in its work recently indicated that it was forced to part with some of its employees.
“Crystal Dynamics has made the difficult decision to let go of 9 Brand/Marketing and 1 IT employees due to internal reorganizations adapted to business needs” the company confirmed. “We are working directly with the affected staff to fully support them.” So it’s not about mass layoffs, since “only” 10 people are affected, but it’s good to see that the studio is really trying to take care of the former employees. In the post, for example, they drew attention to the fact that if any of the teams has an open position for the mentioned positions, you should definitely notify them by email, and they will notify the former colleagues about it. The fate of Lara Croft’s next adventure is therefore in no way affected by the unfortunate development, but let’s hope that we will not have to report many similar decisions in the future.
