As part of an earnings report today, Atari announced it has divested its interest in Champions Online developer Cryptic Studios, calling the development house a "discontinued operation" as of March 31.

Atari will continue to support all current Cryptic products while the company looks for a new owner, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to Gamasutra on the condition of anonymity.

Development on the Bay Area studio's Neverwinter project will continue as normal for the time being, according to the source.
