Overview

Paragonstudioslogo.jpg

Paragon Studios is NCsoft's North California studio, located in Mountain View, CA; it is also referred to as NorCal Studios, Mountain View, NC NorCal, and NCNC/NC².

Paragon Studios formed from NCsoft purchasing Cryptic Studios' half of the "City Of" franchise's Intellectual Property (I.P.). The purchase was announced on November 6, 2007. At the time of the purchase, "City Of" was developed by a mere fifteen people (the Freem Fifteen); most of those developers for the game left Cryptic and moved over to the new studio (15 miles from Cryptic Studios). They completed moving to the new studio on December 18, 2007.

Previously most often called NorCal Studios, they adopted the Paragon Studios name on April 14, 2009.
