We had a chance to interview the CEO of Cryptic Studios, Jack Emmert, about the studios' upcoming release of Neverwinter, the MMO based on the world of Dungeons & Dragons. After being teased with the closed beta a couple times, and enjoying the hell out of Neverwinter, Robert Bernstein came out of each beta weekend wanting to know more about the game. Jack was kind enough to take the time out of his busy day of running Cryptic Studios to have a chat with Robert. Check out what Jack had to say!
Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.
The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
"Cryptic Studios and Gearbox Publishing are today very happy and excited to announce that "Neverwinter: Menzoberranzan" (Neverwinter’s 25th module) is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox (via the Microsoft, and Playstation via digital stores (as announced at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Direct 2023 showcase)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's for that online game, correct? I always wanted to see the drows home from Drizzt's books, I've read those years ago, but I never could fully imagine it from text alone. Looks a bit bright compared to what I remember how it was described, but I'm guessing that's for gameplay reasons.
