According to the press release, the company’s main goal currently is to “focus on enhancing its industry-leading proprietary development platform CRYENGINE, as well as ongoing development and publishing for Hunt: Showdown in the Frankfurt studio and Warface in the Kiev studio.”
The studio seems to be in a state of fluctuation at the moment, and not just because of Hunt’s release. Thanks to an investment of capital made last fall, Crytek has been able to “fortify” the company and prepare for future growth. Former CEO and President Cevat Yerli included a statement in the press release:
“I look forward to continue helping Crytek as a major shareholder, and I am very excited to see what tomorrow brings. I have every confidence that the company will continue to shine under the guidance of Anvi, Faruk, and the rest of the leadership team.”
However, it hasn’t all been bad news for Crytek. This leadership change follows last week’s successful launch of Crytek’s bounty hunting game, Hunt: Showdown. The game is currently in active development on Steam’s Early Access platform. Additionally, Crytek launched its own cryptocurrency earlier this year in Turkey, which is used to pay Warface players for meeting certain in-game milestones.
Now, it’s up to the Yerli brothers to see to Crytek’s success through the active development phase of Hunt: Showdown and beyond.
