The streets of Atari and developer of Champions Online and Star Trek Online, Cryptic Studios, are intended to divide. In his account of the last fiscal year, the publisher has announced a willingness to part with Cryptic in ways that will be announced in the future. "In line with our strategy to launch a smaller number of titles and with the expansion into the casual and mobile, the company has determined that external development offers greater flexibility in these three areas," the report said.
"That's why the company decided to break away from Cryptic Studios. The process has already begun and will be described in detail shortly." In the last fiscal year, the liability of Cryptic fell from 12.6 million euro in 2009/2010 to 5.3 million euro. According to Gamasutra, Atari will continue to support all releases of Cryptic waiting for a buyer.
The study also will continue to work on Neverwinter.
