Champions Online News - The Story of the Week

Posted by Suzie Ford on Oct 29, 2010  | 54 comments in our forums

In his latest column for MMORPG.com, Managing Editor Jon Wood picks what he believes is The Story of the Week. It was a tough choice to pick only one out of all of the interesting news this week.

But what trumps them all is the revelation that Cryptic Studios and Atari will be taking Champions Online into the free to play realm. Check out Jon's thoughts and then add some of your own on the forum.

Still though, in taking it all into consideration, I think it has to be said that the week’s biggest story was the one coming out of Cryptic Studios. Specifically that the company’s second super hero title, Champions Online, will be joining the ranks of games that launched with a subscription fee and later transferred to a F2P item-shop based revenue model.
