  • Envision. Enable. Achieve.

    Crytek GmbH is one of the world's leading independent development studios for interactive entertainment. Based in Frankfurt am Main in Germany, it has additional studios in Kiev (Ukraine), Budapest (Hungary), Sofia (Bulgaria), Seoul (South Korea) and Nottingham (UK).

    Crytek is dedicated to creating exceptionally high-quality video games for the PC and next-generation consoles, powered by their proprietary cutting-edge 3D-game technology CryENGINE®. The engine was awarded “Best Simulation in Real Time” at the Imagina Awards 2010 and ”Most Innovative Technology” at the European Innovative Game’s Awards. It is not only used throughout the video game industry, but also for many serious applications in fields from architecture, training and simulation to learning and development. Some of the developers who use Crytek’s CryENGINE® include NCSoft, Deutsche Telekom, Sohu ChangYou Gaming, XL Games and Norman Foster Design. In September 1999, Crytek was founded as a virtual

    company by the three Turkish brothers Avni, Cevat and Faruk Yerli. It has since created the critically acclaimed PC titles Far Cry®, Crysis® (awarded “Best PC Game” of E3 2007 and “Best Technology” at the 2008 Game Developers Choice Awards) and Crysis Warhead® (awarded “Best Graphics Technology” at the IGN Best of 2008 Awards). Crytek launched the third version of CryENGINE® in October 2009, which is the first game development platform for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, MMO, DX9/DX10/ DX11 that also is truly next-gen ready. In March 2011 Crytek released the newest instalment of its multi-award winning FPS Crysis® series, Crysis® 2 – the first Crytek game available on all three major platforms.

  • Our Purpose defines our Vision. We put the Gamers’ experience squarely in the center of everything we do. Always! We dream big! A portion of everyone‘s time goes to interdisciplinary projects and the pursuit of our heroes’ ideas. Where we have doors (we have few) they are open for feedback and creativity. The creative vision rules all our efforts. Trust is the Alpha and Omega of all we do in the Crytek family. We want you to
    trust in our brand to put Gamers first at all times. For our professional family this means always stepping up to delivering great products, constructive challenge, honest and open feedback at all levels. Trust is assuming the best in others’ intentions and being able to address your concerns and ideas.  We trust our vision, our colleagues, our leadership, our teams, our dreams and our talents. We trust the hero inside of us.
    Profits enable heroes for their journeys, they do not rule us. Profit thinking does not compromise the contribution we are seeking to make. Leaders set overall objectives and get out of our hero‘s way. We make decisions on the lowest possible level through our Crytek Vision Development Framework. You have heard it all before, read it on all the corporate websites. Truth is, in the end it is in how we enable our teams that makes
    or breaks our goals. Crytek has not found the holy grail to this question, but we are determined to become the best professional family we can be. We believe that each of our heroes makes the difference with the right attitude, every day. We don’t care for titles or hierarchies. We approach each situation with the belief that people want to do a good job and will do so, given purpose, responsibility, the proper tools and support.
    A hero is measured by saving the day! We gain respect by only contributing products we are proud of. To that end our heroes collaborate across all Studio borders to achieve our Vision. We never give up. And once we have awed the world, we do it again. Even better. Crytek was built by heroes from all corners of the world, and heroes are ultimately made through their journeys. We have come a long way! Our games and our technology have gained us the respect of Gamers and our Industry. We
    worked very hard to achieve this and to build a great company. At Crytek, Development is crucial, both for games and people. We understand that heroes can come from unlikely places and that sometimes you need courage and a leap of faith to explore new frontiers! This is why we are all about finding and enabling our maximum potential. Our heroes strive to contribute in ever more meaningful ways to our Gamers, our communities and industry. And like all heroes, we achieve respect by winning the day.

  • Team

    Every great team needs great players, but great players alone are not enough. However at Crytek we have star players sitting at each desk, working together for true success.

  • Awards

    There are some things out there that people just can’t get enough of. For us, it’s awards. They range from ‘Best Business Plan’ and the ‘Industry Excellence' award, to the ‘Red Dot Design’ award. We have many in our collection and every one means so much to us. From the very first to the very last, we will guard them as we add to their number.
