Less than a week later, Cryptic Studios announced that development would continue using a new IP license related to Champions, a superhero role playing game.Ĭonfirmation of the project's cancellation arrived on February 11, 2008, although rumors of the possible cancellation had existed since November of the previous year. The project was changed on Februdue to what a Microsoft spokesperson referred to as "an inability to compete" with the current MMO marketplace.
