I do have to wonder how CryTek has enough money to establish 9 studios around the world. I mean besides their games they do sell their engines, but it seemed they weren't anywhere near as successful as Epic with that.

I was wondering that as well, they have basically only released Crysis games, though I didn't think they quite had 9 studios? Are they all proper studios rather than just small tech studios?

Most of them are proper studios but many are smaller focused on mobile games etc. They also do military simulation type work as well. And then there is Crytek Korea and Crytek Shanghai which pretty much just handles engine licensing and support for local devs as well as localising their free 2 play projects.

Edit:

Crytek Frankfurt: Main studio Far Cry, Crysis, Ryse etc

Crytek UK: Ex Free radical working on Homefront 2, did multiplayer for Crysis 2 & 3

Crytek USA: New studio, ex Vigil staff

Crytek Ukraine: Warface free 2 play games

Crytek Black Sea: No idea what they are working on now, used to make strategy games before they were aquired 

Crytek Budapest: Mobile games, were working on Ryse but that was moved to Frankfurt and they were changed to mobile only

Crytek South Korea: Engine licensing, localisation

Crytek Istanbul: works on other games like Warface

Crytek Shanghai: Engine licensing, localisation
