Cryptic Studios, the makers of Champions Online and Star Trek Online, have another project in the works that they are keeping very secret until a formal announcement this summer. The project has been rumored to be a Dungeon & Dragons MMO.
Cryptic’s Chief Creative Officer, Bill Roper, talked about the upcoming game in development and when it would be revealed to the world:
Many expect the game to be of the fantasy genre with the company already having games in the superhero genre as well as the sci-fi realm. At this point, it is anyone’s guess as their “In Development” gallery opens up the speculation to other possible genres, with concept art showing a variety of possibilities.
It’s interesting that the studio is primed to release another game even though they already have two MMOs currently running that have not been without their issues. Will this new game take away from their efforts to support Champions Online and Star Trek Online? Will gamers’ past experiences with Cryptic Studios’ MMOs make them more or less likely to purchase another project of theirs?
Cryptic seems confident that they have earned the trust of enough gamers and the reputation to draw new gamers to invest in another game.
