If you've spent any time on Destructoid today, you've probably noticed their preview of Cryptic Studios' latest offering, Champions Online. It is certainly an ambitious title for any studio, yet in the hands of the development team behind City of Heroes, they would have to say that Champions Online has a good chance of pulling off all that it promises.
One man in charge of making sure those promises come try is Chief Creative Officer of Cryptic studios. He's the go to man for the company as it decided whatfocus they wanted to have, and he's the one who helped spearhead the Campions IP. For fans of that Role-playing classic, you can thank this guy.
So in between rounds of PvP, as well as the insanity of Peelander-Z, Emmert and Destructoid went outside to the freesing-cold wind tunnel known as South San Francisco, and had a chat about Champions Online.
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.
