Cryptic Studios: City of Heroes/City of Villains will continue

Posted Oct 3, 2006 at 12:17AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Titles, News Tags: Cryptic Studios, Microsoft, Windows Vista

After Cryptic Studios' announcement that it will team up with Microsoft and Marvel to deliver the much anticipated MMO video game exclusive to Xbox 360 and Windows Vista, many fans of City of Heroes and City of Villains are wondering if the studio can handle both.

Cryptic Studios assures fans that the new venture won't affect the continuing operations of City of Heroes and City of Villains and they would be able to maintain both its past and upcoming comic book game development. Matt Miller, leader designer for CoH and CoV tried to ease fans' worries by stating, Â“We have a full team of programmers, artists, designers, and producers devoted to creating and maintaining the best experience in the Â‘City ofÂ’ world of games. This team is, and will remain completely separate from other teams working on other games at Cryptic.Â”

Cryptic also said that they are devoted to providing the best gaming experience possible for all CoH and CoV fans. The new venture, Marvel Universe Online, is aiming to unite gamers in a cross-platform experience, allowing Xbox 360 and Windows Vista users to play alongside one another. Famous Marvel characters like Spider Man and the X-Men will be playable in the Marvel Universe Online. Cryptic said it shouldn't be a threat to CoH and CoV because they are unique and interesting in their own right.
