Crystal Dynamics recently reduced its workforce, attributing the layoffs to "evolving business conditions."

The studio expressed that the move, although difficult, was essential for maintaining its "overall health and creative focus in an ever-changing marketplace."

In an announcement, Crystal Dynamics extended gratitude to those affected for their dedication and assured them of comprehensive support during the transition. More details are available in their statement.

The studio also thanked its teams, players, and partners for their ongoing support and emphasized that the future of Tomb Raider remains secure despite these cuts.

The exact number of employees affected and the specifics of the support offered have not been disclosed.

This marks the second round of layoffs this year for Crystal Dynamics, which let go of 17 employees in March to better align with its current business goals. There were also ten prior job reductions in September 2023.
