Crysis 4 and Hunt: Showdown developer Crytek makes remote work permanent

Crytek, developer of the Crysis series of first-person shooters and the hardcore multiplayer shooter Hunt: Showdown, announced on Tuesday that the company has made its pandemic-era remote work option permanent.

A press release from the developer noted that development on both Hunt: Showdown and the forthcoming Crysis 4 has remained “on track” and “kept pace with pre-pandemic game productions.” As a result, the studio says it has made the remote work option permanent for current and future employees both full and part-time.

The developer will not be working remotely. Crytek maintains offices in its Frankfurt, Germany headquarters and in Istanbul, Turkey, which employees will also be able to work from.

Staff currently working from home represent 80% of Crytek’s workforce, with remote working already supported in the USA, India, Brazil, China, the Philippines, and across Europe. Candidates and employees who are eligible for work at home may reside wherever in the world they choose, provided they have an internet connection. Crytek headquarters is located in Frankfurt in Germany. It also has a studio in Istanbul in Turkey for those who want to work part-time.

The company joins the growing ranks of major development studios embracing remote work, most notably Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2.
