Post by Crytek

We are delighted to announce that Hannes Seifert will join the company's management team as the new co-CEO on January 1, 2026. With nearly four decades of industry expertise as a video game executive, producer, developer, and marketeer at Rockstar Games, Deep Silver, IO Interactive, and most recently Riot Games, Hannes will work closely with our founder, Avni Yerli, to help expand and shape Crytek's future. In his new role as co-CEO, he will focus on the business areas of game production and publishing. Hannes brings the vision and experience needed to strengthen Crytek's position in the market—as we set the course for growth in key global regions with our publishing and game services, continue our commitment to the further development of Hunt: Showdown 1896, which surpassed the 10-million-player mark worldwide in fall 2025, and advance our in-house developed CRYENGINE. Welcome to the team, Hannes! We’re genuinely excited about our journey together!
