Agreement with Vivox

Top Online Games

Vivox, an integrated voice platform for the social web, and Cryptic Studios, a developer of massively-multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG) and a subsidiary of Atari, announced a platform agreement that will integrate Vivox Voice services into all Cryptic titles.
Vivox Voice chat is a component for online games and has driven the adoption of many top-tier titles. The ability to instantly collaborate with fellow players is important during online gameplay. With the integration of voice chat into its games, Cryptic is providing its community with the most personal and social in-game experience available.

"We pride ourselves on bringing the best possible gaming experience to our players and community and are constantly evaluating options to improve our offerings," said John Needham, CEO of Cryptic Studios. "We've seen Vivox in action in other titles and knew it would be a fantastic feature for our community. With the addition of voice chat into our portfolio, we know we are delivering the best communication option in the market, and are confident we are providing our players with the most immersive, exciting experience we can."
"The opportunity to integrate Vivox Voice into titles with the reputation of Star Trek Online and City of Heroes is not something you come across everyday," said Rob Seaver, CEO of Vivox. "Together with Cryptic we will work tirelessly to bring our best-in-class voice services to all of the studio's titles and ensure their communities the ability to communicate while in-game."
Cryptic Studios is a developer of role-playing and massively multiplayer online role-playing games. Cryptic is responsible for developing several AAA titles, including Star Trek Online, Champions Online, City of Heroes, City of Villains and Neverwinter.
