Death Rattle, Part 2!

19 Jul, 2019

In the first episode of Death Rattle, our new Serialized Story, you faced a threat from Cobra Lords with mysterious new powers. This week, in our second episode, you'll begin to unravel the mystery at the heart of this new story. Ladyhawke has analyzed the mysterious pearl you found at the end of the last mission, but it's not a complete message. It's giving off a mysterious signal, and one that leads to other points around the city. Can you locate the other pearls, and defeat those who might be protecting them? Death Rattle Part 2 is coming on July 17th!

The first time you play this mission, you'll receive the Magical Hands Aura! You'll also be able to buy a Magical Head Aura and a Magical Tail Aura in the Champion Recognition Store for Silver Champion Recognition. Play the mission again to receive the Magical Condition mod, which boosts your resistance to Magic damage and knock effects.

Shadow of Destruction is Live!

28 Oct, 2016

“The recent Nightmare Invasion of our world was just the prelude to something far worse. It wasn’t just random attacks by horrific monsters, but calculated strikes intended to cause terror in us. What’s worse, they were harvesting that fear for some dark purpose. I have traced it to its source; we need to return to the Qliphothic Realm.” -Witchcraft, addressing the Mage Council

The new Shadow of Destruction Content Update is now live!

Shadow of Destruction brings us the Qliphothic Warzone, a new epic end-game zone set in an eerie otherworld where forces of evil plot the downfall of all creation. Content is designed for veteran level 40 players in teams of 2+ players, 6+ players and 20 players!

Features:

10 New Directed Storyline Missions leading you into and through the Qliphothic Warzone!
15 New Daily Repeatable Quests allowing you to earn Champions Recognition and Hermes Requisitions!
4 New Open Missions where you are challenged by the deadly Portal Guardian, the alien Slug, the deadly speedster Oubliette, and the dreaded Eidolon of Destruction!
New Rewards, including costume pieces, gear, devices, and action figures!

To begin your adventure, talk with UNTIL Liason Bradley at Renaissance Center in Millennium City and take the mission “Hermes Revisited”. This will lead you to UNTIL HQ to speak with Major Violette Boudreau with the mission “Realm of Destruction”. From there it will lead you into the Qliphothic Warzone!

Teleios Ascendant is Live!

4 Feb, 2016

Teleios Ascendant, the newest content update for Champions Online, is now live! Teleios Ascendant is a new level 40 Epic Villain Lair containing some of Teleios’ newest cloning creations. This lair is the biggest challenge in Champions Online to date, with lots of new rewards for your heroes!

In the wake of Supervillain Onslaught and the resulting rampage of super-powered clones, UNTIL has activated "Project Frankenstein". This new UNTIL Special Project under the command of Major Paul Mason keeps watch on the activities of the mad cloning genius, Teleios. Recently, UNTIL agents have discovered Teleios was nearing completion of his "Ascendency Formula", enabling him to become Master of Humanity. UNTIL has authorized a UNITY strike force comprised of the strongest heroes to take him down!

If you think you have what it takes, put together your 5-person team of justice! UNTIL Liaison Bradley in Renaissance Center can point you to Major Paul Mason in UNTIL HQ in Millennium City. Major Mason can give you a run-down on the situation before sending you off to Teleios Tower in Canada. You can enter Teleios Tower directly through the villain lair door in Canada, or through a queue instance via the Mission tab.

Champions Online Returning to Cryptic Studios in Los Gatos, California

16 Apr, 2015

Posted on behalf of Randy Mosiondz:

-

Greetings, Champions!

My name is Randy Mosiondz, a Senior Game Designer at Cryptic Studios. I have some exciting news: Champions Online is returning to its original development studio in Los Gatos, California, and I’ll be heading up the game design team!

I’d like to thank the team at Cryptic North for their excellent work on Champions while it was in our Seattle office, especially Tom Atkinson-Edwards, Russell Williams, and Raymond Wood. They’ve added some memorable moments to the game, including the Fatal Err0r and Steel Crusade story arcs. They’ll still be helping us out in part with planning of new content.

I’m bringing to the development team over 10 years of development experience at Cryptic Studios. I was a Mission Designer on City of Heroes, the original Lead Designer of Champions Online at launch, and most recently Content Lead and Loremaster of the popular Neverwinter game (now available on both PC and Xbox One!)

I and the other developers here at Cryptic Studios are looking forward to creating great new things. We’ve already started work on some new costumes including the Variable Robot set and Steel Arachnid set from the earlier fan-submitted costume contest, and planning new content updates.

Stay tuned for more details! As we continue development on Champions, we’ll be sure to let you know what’s going on.

- Randy "Arkayne" Mosiondz

Tailor Changes for New Players, & More

27 Jan, 2015

Champions, we're happy to say that, this week, we're going to be removing restrictions on the costume tailor for brand-new players. A while back, we made a change where new players creating characters get a much smaller selection of costume pieces to choose from, in order to streamline character creation.

Since that change was released, we've been keeping a careful eye on this, and how it impacts player retention. After sifting through the data, it's clear that it's better to re-open the tailor, so a new player gets the full Champions experience of a nigh-limitless list of costume pieces.

This is just part of our recent focus on quality of life changes. We’ve taken a few weeks to prioritize the player experience of the core game, and find ways to make Champions a little more fun. You can think of this as a short-term Bug Stompathon, except instead of limiting ourselves to bugs, we've tackled design choices as well.

For new players, the opened tailor is going to take their breath away, and they're going to really see all the potential for costumes in Champions.

For veterans, we've already released the Resource cap increase, which is going to really help the game economy work more smoothly. This week's patch should also include a fix to the map's zoom: You've probably noticed that in larger maps like Millennium City, you can't zoom out all the way, making some missions hard to find.

One of my old bosses had something he called the "emotional to-do list" -- things that you're committed to doing, but you don't know when you'll be able to get to them. It feels good to say that, for some of these changes, the day finally came.

We’re proud of these changes, and we hope you enjoy them. Make sure to keep an eye on the forums and blogs for all the latest Champions news!

-The Champions Online team
