Cryptic is Cryptic About Neverwinter Nights MMORPG

MMORPG.com has tossed up an interview with Cryptic Studios’ Bill Roper, during which the chief creative officer confirms that they’re working on another game, though he’s not willing to turn the Neverwinter Nights MMORPG rumors into fact.

Do you have anything to say to the D&D Forgotten Realms MMO rumors?

Bill Roper: I can’t speak to the specifics of what we’re doing, but it’s true that we have another game in the works. We won’t be making an announcement until late summer, and we’re still a ways off from launch. I can say that this is a game and a franchise we’re very excited about. I think people are going to pleased and a bit surprised with what we’re doing in terms of the game, how we make it, and even how we sell and support it. The game is being developed around new design principles merged with Cryptic’s community-first approach to ongoing development.

I’m nearly convinced that the rumors have some merit, now. This one has been in development for at least a year, too, so they’ll probably actually have something to show when the announcement is made this summer.
