 Earth's first and best line of defense is its heroes. For generations, brave men and women have answered the call to protect the world from the villains who threaten its safety and security.

Today, organizations such as VIPER, ARGENT and PSI use both superpowers and super technology in their dastardly plots to control the world. Creatures from outer space and other dimensions seek to enslave humanity. The dread Takofanes wields dark magicks of unspeakable power. Super scientist Teleios is creating an army of clones and superpowered constructs to do his bidding, while the robot Mechanon makes plans to cleanse the planet of all organic life.

The greatest threat of all is Doctor Destroyer. A superhuman genius driven to conquer, Destroyer will not stop until all of humanity bends knee to his greatness. In 1992, Destroyer obliterated the city of Detroit and killed thousands. With years to prepare, his next attack is sure to put the entire planet in peril.

Led by The Champions, protectors of Millennium City, the world's heroes have launched a crusade for peace, security and justice. But they need allies. Defender is calling for a new generation of superheroes to fight in a war against evil that spans the globe — and beyond.

Powered by the groundbreaking Cryptic Engine, Champions Online will be developed for both Xbox™ 360 and PC formats. With literally billions of character options allowing total customization, real-time action combat, the richly detailed Champions universe and an experienced Cryptic Studios team devoted to working directly with gamers to deliver a great gaming experience, Champions Online is set to be the premier superheroic massively multiplayer online role playing game.

Save the world. Explore space. Venture into new dimensions.

Be a Champion.

This will be the true sequel to City of Heroes which I still play today after 3+ years so I am excited especially since I can play it on the 360 so I can get my PC friends and 360 friends to all play.  I can't wait!

I loved City of Heroes. I am excited about this game.

Yes it does sound like a sequel to City of Heroes....can't wait to hear more about it.

Interesting. You can't play as a villain though, but maybe that makes for a more interesting story in the end.

I used to play some Golden Heroes (paper superhero RPG) when I was a kid. Those were the days...

hmm, could be nice

saw it in game informer, it looks so purty.
