IGN has seen a number of promising titles here at this year's German Games Convention and one particular title that could please a good number of MMO fans is Champions Online, Cryptic Studios' upcoming project for the PC and 360. IGN had the chance to sit in on a demo of Champions Online and watch as two representatives worked together to battle to the top of a mad scientist's tower, while simultaneously fighting off packs of robo-dino-gaurds. In other words: the business. Although seeing a twenty minute demo gives you very little to go by when discussing an MMO, Champions Online might have the recipe for success.

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 appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
