The studio, which is responsible for the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, decided last week to dismiss 'roughly 12' employees due to the redundancy of their roles.
'Tomb Raider' was released last March for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
"We've made some decisions at Crystal Dynamics last week around the second project we're working on, which has resulted in a small number of roles (roughly 12) becoming redundant as we re-scope the project," Crystal Dynamics' parent company Square Enix told Kotaku .
"This doesn't affect the Tomb Raider development team, who as confirmed last week are well into production on a next-generation sequel.
"We're a close-knit team at Crystal and wouldn't be making these changes if we didn't feel it was absolutely necessary. We'll help those affected as best we can and we want to thank them for their hard work and commitment."
Despite shifting 3.4 million units, the reboot has been considered a sales flop.
Announced earlier this month, a Tomb Raider sequel is in development for next-gen consoles and is supposedly "well into development".
