We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek’s websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons.
The sites listed below are currently offline:
- Crytek.com
- Mycryengine.com
- Crydev.net
- MyCrysis.com
The following Crytek sites remain online and are not affected by these issues:
- GFACE.com
- Crysis.com
- Warface.com
If you have an account at crydev.net or mycrysis.com, you will be asked to change your password next time you log in. If you use your current password anywhere else online, we would also suggest that you reset it at those sites.
We are working on getting all websites fully operational again as soon as possible. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
