Cryptic Studios delays Champions Online to Sept. 1st
Cryptic Studios announced in late April that their newest MMO Champions Online would be shipping on July 14th. However, Cryptic has made the concious decision to delay the game until September 1st, but why?
Well, executive producer for the game, Bill Roper, gave the following reason:
Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realized that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time
And, according to Joystiq, these features will include things like “more instanced and scripted missions” along with “core powers, travel powers and upgrades”.
Well OK Mr. Roper, let’s just hope you and Cryptic Studios deliver a great game.
