Atari has confirmed that they are looking to sell Cryptic Studios. The maker of Star Trek Online and Champions Online will continue as normal until Atari finds a buyer for the beleaguered MMO studio.
“In line with the previously stated strategy of fewer but more profitable releases and further expansion into casual online and mobile games, the Company has determined that external development creates more flexibility in the three changing marketplace,” stated Atari. “Therefore, the company has made the decision to divest itself from Cryptic Studios. The divestiture process is underway and more details will be provided as appropriate.”
