The free-to-play conversion has certainly wrought some far-reaching changes for
Champions Online, but as producer
Rob Overmeyer puts forth in
the latest State of the Game letter, there's still more to come. Aside from numerous
C-Store additions for players, a new power framework and a new adventure pack are both in the works for the next couple of months. In addition, the development team is looking to add "Comic Series" missions on a regular basis, akin to the featured episodes implemented in
Star Trek Online.
This letter comes hot on the heels of the announcement that
Cryptic Studios will be partnering with
Vivox to bring
built-in voice chat to both of its current games. That benefits both
Champions Online and
Star Trek Online, although no details are currently available for the precise implementation of the feature or the integration timetable. Still, fans of the game should be happy to see that the change in models hasn't hurt
any of the game's long-term plans for content or functionality.
