The Cryptic Studios Saga Continues: Perfect World's Acquisition

Last week OnRPG reported on the surprise separation between Publisher Atari and Developer Cryptic Studios, known for games such as Champions Online and Star Trek Online. Yesterday, Perfect World shook up the MMO industry with its announcement that it would be acquiring Cryptic Studios!

This can only mean a greater diversity in Perfect World's lineup coming in the following years. OnRPG will be on the scene bright and early Tuesday, June 7th to find out exactly what this means for both Perfect World and Cryptic Studios. So far from email correspondence though, we have confirmed the following games will be covered at their E3 booth.

Blacklight Retribution - A fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping first person shooter based in a futuristic urban warzone and sequel to Zombie Studio's Blacklight: Tango Down.


Rusty Hearts - An anime-inspired, fast and furious hack n' slash dungeon crawler, Rusty Hearts takes everything we love about arcade sidescrollers and puts it online - no quarters required.


Raiderz - Experience monster hunting online with RaiderZ with a fast-paced, real-time battle system. Prepare to hunt together or die alone.

I hope our viewers are look forward to this as much as I am. Stay tuned for an in-depth report on all Rusty Hearts will have to offer.
