Zinkievich Returns to Cryptic Studios as COO

Bear with us, because this may get a little confusing. Last month, Jack Emmert was appointed CEO of Cryptic Studios following the departure of John Needham, who is now Gazillion's CEO. Emmert was formerly Cryptic's COO, and that position has been filled by none other than Craig Zinkievich!

Zinkievich is no stranger to Cryptic Studios. He was the executive producer of Star Trek Online for two years before ending his seven-year run with Cryptic in July 2010 to spend more time with his family. Now he's back as Cryptic's COO and will will oversee the production and operations of the studio's live games and those currently in development.

"It’s great, after a break, to return to the studio that has always felt like home to me," Zinkievich said. "I have always believed in Cryptic’s potential to make great games and I'm excited to be part of the business going forward."
