NCsoft has today announced the formation of a new development studio in California. The new studio comes as a result of NCsoft’s full ownership of the City of Heroes property, which was previously split between NCsoft and Cryptic Studios.

The new studio is to be formed of key members of the City of Heroes team from NCsoft and Cryptic Studios: talented artists, programmers and design team leads.

Our plans are clear. We are now in a position to make a major reinvestment in the City of Heroes product line. With our existing Cryptic and NCsoft team as the core, we will be able to run our current service without any interruption to our players, expand our studio to deliver triple-A content, and take City of Heroes to new heights,” said Brian Clayton, NCsoft executive producer and manager of the new studio.

NCsoft will soon announce future plans for the City of Heroes IP, including expansions and sequels.
