Overview
Cryptic Studios was founded in 2000 and is based in Los Gatos, California. It was founded by Michael Lewis, Rick Dakan, Bruce Rogers, and Jack Emmert. Cryptic launched City of Heroes on April 27th, 2004 and then City of Villains on October 31, 2005. They are currently developing Champions Online, slated for release in 2009, as well as Star Trek Online and other unannounced titles.
In 2008, Cryptic Studios was acquired by Infogrames/Atari.[1]
Origin of the Name
Rick Dakan and Jack Emmert wanted to name the company Crypteia. The Crypteia were Spartan Warriors that preyed on the Helots, ancient Sparta's slave population. [2] Bruce Rogers thought it was too cryptic and suggested that their new company be called Cryptic Studios. [3]
