Spreading the good news today, Atari and Cryptic Studios have announced their upcoming superhero-themed MMORPG, Champions Online, has officially gone gold and will begin shipping to stores on September 1st. Unfamiliar with the game? No worries! Here's a brief description from the press released:
Cryptic Studios -- creators of the award-winning City of Heroes and City of Villains MMOs -- has taken the massively multiplayer role-playing game genre to new heights with Champions Online. The experience begins with Champions' immensely powerful character creation and customization tool, which enables players to fashion truly unique superheroes by choosing from thousands of costume pieces, body types, powers, and character appearances. Players can then modify their choices with an array of configurable sliders and color options, resulting in a completely individualized hero.
No superhero, however unique, can be complete without a super villainous Nemesis or two. With Champions Online's powerful21a9 customization tools, players can also design the perfect Nemesis to oppose their superheroes. These ultimate adversaries appear throughout a hero's career, sometimes issuing challenges, other times ambushing their heroic foe. Champions Online brings epic superheroism to the MMORPG genre with depth that challenges the most experienced online gamers, while its fast-paced action promises to engage new entrants to the online superhero universe.
The wait is allllmost over! ;)
