Champions Online delayed

Launch of superhero MMO pushed back from July to September to add more polish
The release of Cryptic Studios' subscription-based superhero MMO Champions Online has been delayed, the company has confirmed.

The PC and Xbox 360 game will now launch on September 1 and not on July 14 as previously planned, according to a statement on the developer's website.

"It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch," said design director and executive producer Bill Roper.

"Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realised that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time. So that's what we're going to give it. Cryptic has a proven track record of releasing solid games and we want to maintain that with Champions Online."

An MMO getting delayed and pushed back? Shocking and suprising news :wink: .

Still, ill be interested to see how this pans out on the console, although I think this will now be pushed back even further. Its not a simultaneous launch, is it?

I must admit, I'm getting pretty interested in this too. I used to play City of Heroes/Villains and really enjoyed it, but I don't really have a gaming PC anymore (and I don't think I'll ever really bother again) so I'd like to see it working well on 360.

APB is another that could tempt me into MMO's again - as well as Old Republic....it's BioWare, of course I'm interested!

tested this game, it has sound files, animated, from City of Heroes. Has a lot of stuff that you would notice if you play city of heroes. I think this game is cheap to be honest, Hate it.
