You have to hand it to Cryptic, the company just won’t give up whether you want them to or not. Champions Online launched way back in 2009 and while the game was pretty fun it suffered from the effects of being the first game on a new engine. Systems weren’t fleshed out, the game is still pretty clunky, and the system feels bogged down by all of the new features that Cryptic has piled on over the years. Rather than leaving the game in the dust, Cryptic Studios announced earlier this year that they are opening Cryptic North, a brand new studio primarily made up of ex-Flying Lab Software employees. The studio has one goal, to improve Champions Online and allow the game to fully utilize the current Cryptic Engine platform.
Everything’s been quiet on the western front, so we have to assume that the team is busy plucking away. Hopefully we will hear more about Champions 2.0 in 2014.
