The upcoming issue of Game Informer reveals the first details on Cryptic Studios' next project, a brand new superhero MMO titled Champions Online.
The game lacks a release date, but it is revealed that it will be available on PCs and unnamed consoles and will offer players a chance to play as heroes as well as villains.
This news may seem somewhat confusing given the ongoing success of *City of Heroes/Villains *(a game originally created by Cryptic but later acquired in total by NCsoft), but after the recent revelation that the Cryptic developed Marvel Universe Online had been dropped it is presumed that *Champions Online *is a convenient chance to actually use the assets they had already created for the Marvel title.
