With the upcoming release of Champions Online, Cryptic is taking a double-edged approach to generating revenue. The game is going to run on a standard subscription package, but it will also let players have the option of buying extra "account options" and costume pieces via Cryptic Points.

Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.

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