Crystal Dynamics makes more layoffs

Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics is making yet more job cuts. 

In a post on LinkedIn, the company said that it had been forced to make this decision due to "evolving business conditions". There's no word as to how many staff are affected by this move and Crystal Dynamics has not filed a WARN notice as of yet. 

This is the second round of layoffs at the studio this year – 17 staff lost their jobs in March, while another ten were laid off in September 2023. 

"Today we made the very difficult decision to part ways with a number of our talented colleagues as the result of evolving business conditions," the studio wrote. 

"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.

"To those impacted - we recognise and thank you for your hard work, talent, and passion. We are committed to offering the full extent of support and resources at our disposal during this transition.

"To our teams, players, and partners, thank you for your continued support as we build a creative, sustainable, and resilient tomorrow together. This includes the future of Tomb Raider, which remains unaffected by this decision."
