Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

According to Champions Online Daily News, CO is right on schedule and open beta is coming soon! How soon? Well, it isn't 100% certain but it looks like mid-August is the magic date giving players a solid two weeks to check out Champions Online before launch!

The launch date of September 1 looks to be ON, despite the fact that Beta feedback has been coming in thick and fast, and the team are wasting no time responding to player notes on the game. Trust me, there’s a lot of work going on right now and responding to feedback is much more than a mere formality. I interviewed half a dozen people yesterday, and they were all working on stuff directly germane to Beta feedback.

At one point, I spotted all the Big Bosses holed up in a meeting in the aquarium (large glass office) staring balefully at a ferociously complex chronology chart projected onto the wall. Every function of the game’s polishing and release phase slotted into place, each in their own colors (greens and purples are favored). They were in there for a while. There wasn’t much in the way of jolly japes going on. It looked like nitty gritty.

We’re still two months away from the September 1 launch of the PC game, so there’s plenty of time to get things done. Within that time-frame, an Open Beta needs to be organized. I can say that a firm date has been penciled in and although it’s not 100% confirmed it is slap bang in the middle of August.

Sounds good to me. Is everyone ready to get all superhero?
