No job ever goes quite right, no matter how well you plan it. It's as true in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Champions-Online/">Champions Online</a></em> as it is anywhere else, and it's certainly the case in the latest installment of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Whiteout/">Whiteout</a> series. After all, the first two issues made it plenty clear that heroes would have their hands full dealing with a downed alien spacecraft, but now <a href="http://champions-online.com/node/595608">things are going from bad to worse</a> for the Steelhead soldiers and the player characters. It seems there's another player involved in the game who hopes to get in on the wrecked ship...<br />
<br />
As with previous installments of the series, the new issue can be played by any character over level 11 and provides special rewards in addition to the usual mission benefits. But if you've already played through the mission, you can take a look at the game's <a href="http://champions-online.com/node/595609">latest Art Corner</a>, which shows off the design of the mechanical antagonists plaguing the newest mission installment (and the subsequent ones as well, most likely).<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/12/05/issue-3-of-whiteout-available-for-champions-online-players/">Issue 3 of Whiteout available for Champions Online players</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:00:00 EST.

Comic book geeks rejoice! Well, digital comic book geeks, that is. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/champions-online"><em>Champions Online</em></a> has just announced the first issue of its second Comic Series content update. The new stuff is called Whiteout, and like the previous series (Aftershock), it spans multiple weekly issues that take the form of free content packs.<br />
<br />
The <em>Champions</em> website says that Comic Series are designed to take you on an "exciting adventure in which you'll encounter new creatures and environments, all the while playing through an intriguing story." The new Whiteout series is accessible to players at level 11 or higher, and on top of the new narrative you'll get special issue rewards and item drops as you progress.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/18/new-champions-online-whiteout-comic-series-content-debuts/">New Champions Online Whiteout comic series content debuts</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:30:00 EST.

<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/champions-online"><em>Champions Online</em></a> is two years old this month (yep, really), and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/cryptic-studios">Cryptic</a> executive producer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/rob-overmeyer">Rob Overmeyer</a> has taken to the intarwebs to pen a lengthy State of the Game manifesto. The first half of the piece is basically a recap of the game's last few months, and touches on everything from <a href="http://www.champions-online.com/comic_series">Aftershock</a> to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/07/champions-online-adds-housing-via-new-hideout-feature/">player hideouts</a>.<br />
<br />
The second portion of the letter focuses on upcoming content patches and also mentions the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/31/champions-online-celebrates-two-years/">anniversary event</a> (which is basically a social gathering featuring dev appearances). Upcoming content includes Comic Series 2: Whiteout, a new mini arc, and team missions called alerts that will scale to your level. Overmeyer has more to say, of course, and you can read all about it at the official <em>Champions</em> website.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/09/02/champions-online-releases-september-state-of-the-game-letter/">Champions Online releases September State of the Game letter</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:00:00 EST.
