New Release Date for Champions Online: September 1

Champions Online is getting bumped from a July 14th release to a September 1st release. The reason? It’s not quite finished yet. Cryptic wants to make sure thsi MMO is as ready as possible before launching it to the anxious masses. According to current beta testers, there’s still many features that should be available at launch that aren’t there yet. And Cryptic seems to agree that a little extra waiting time will be good for everyone.

The last thing an MMO wants is a terrible launch day, even though most MMO players expect certain levels of problems the first day in. So it’s good that Cryptic’s got its development head on straight and is willing to wait a bit to make sure everything’s as solid as possible.

“It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch. 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. So that’s what we’re going to give it. Cryptic has a proven track record of releasing solid games and we want to maintain that with Champions Online.”
