Champions Online News

Teleios Ascendant, the newest content update for Champions Online, is now live! Teleios Ascendant is a new level 40 Epic Villain Lair containing some of Teleios’ newest cloning creations. This lair is the biggest challenge in Champions Online to date, with lots of new rewards for your heroes!

In the wake of Supervillain Onslaught and the resulting rampage of super-powered clones, UNTIL has activated "Project Frankenstein". This new UNTIL Special Project under the command of Major Paul Mason keeps watch on the activities of the mad cloning genius, Teleios. Recently, UNTIL agents have discovered Teleios was nearing completion of his "Ascendency Formula", enabling him to become Master of Humanity. UNTIL has authorized a UNITY strike force comprised of the strongest heroes to take him down!

If you think you have what it takes, put together your 5-person team of justice! UNTIL Liaison Bradley in Renaissance Center can point you to Major Paul Mason in UNTIL HQ in Millennium City. Major Mason can give you a run-down on the situation before sending you off to Teleios Tower in Canada. You can enter Teleios Tower directly through the villain lair door in Canada, or through a queue instance via the Mission tab.

Greetings, Champions!

My name is Randy Mosiondz, a Senior Game Designer at Cryptic Studios. I have some exciting news: Champions Online is returning to its original development studio in Los Gatos, California, and I’ll be heading up the game design team!

I’d like to thank the team at Cryptic North for their excellent work on Champions while it was in our Seattle office, especially Tom Atkinson-Edwards, Russell Williams, and Raymond Wood. They’ve added some memorable moments to the game, including the Fatal Err0r and Steel Crusade story arcs. They’ll still be helping us out in part with planning of new content.



I’m bringing to the development team over 10 years of development experience at Cryptic Studios. I was a Mission Designer on City of Heroes, the original Lead Designer of Champions Online at launch, and most recently Content Lead and Loremaster of the popular Neverwinter game (now available on both PC and Xbox One!)

I and the other developers here at Cryptic Studios are looking forward to creating great new things. We’ve already started work on some new costumes including the Variable Robot set and Steel Arachnid set from the earlier fan-submitted costume contest, and planning new content updates.



Stay tuned for more details! As we continue development on Champions, we’ll be sure to let you know what’s going on.
