Eden Studios, NCsoft and Cryptic Studios Power Up the City of Heroes Roleplaying GameALBANY, New York, March 14, 2005 – Eden Studios announces today an agreement with Cryptic Studios™ and NCsoft® Corporation for the design and production of the City of Heroes® table-top roleplaying game (RPG), based on the wildly popular comic book inspired massively multiplayer online roleplaying computer game by the same name. The City of Heroes (http://www.cityofheroes.com) computer game released last year to critical acclaim and continues to garner awards for its groundbreaking innovation. The highly anticipated player-versus-player sequel, City of Villains™ is due for release later this year.


“We are very excited about getting the opportunity to produce this super-powered game,” George Vasilakos, President of Eden Studios, announced. “We worked with Jack Emmert, City of Heroes lead designer, on our first roleplaying game, Conspiracy X. His imagination and storytelling have always been tremendous. He and his City of Heroes team have created a rocking good game that has been chewing up most of our free time for over a year now. We plan to translate that experience to the table-top while adding the richness of face-to-face roleplaying.”
