"Champions Online is a subscription based superhero-themed MMORPG game by City of Heroes/Villains developer Cryptic Studios based on the Champions license. The game is being developed for the PC and the Xbox 360. It is now in the closed beta stage of development. The open beta will start soon.
The game features a robust character creation like City of Heroes, including the ability to edit a hero's movement; for instance, a wolf-like hero may opt to leap on all fours rather than on two, a robot may select robotic, jerky movement rather than humanoid, and a mentalist may opt to float inches above the ground rather than walk. The player may also edit the manifestation of their powers, including color and form; for instance, a heat ray may resemble flames or a force field may have a color specified in the editor.
One significant difference to other MMORPGs is the elimination of any character class or archetype system — all characters can take any skill or power equally."
I am really looking forward to this game. The trailers are great, the gameplay looks solid and fun. All 18 Powersets (Archery, Darkness, Electricity, Fire, Force, Gadgeteering, Ice, Martial Arts (Dual Blades, Fighting Claws, Single Blade and Unarmed), Might, Munition, Power Armor, Sorcery, Supernatural, Telekinesis and Telepathy) are cool and look fun. I can't wait to try out the open beta.
