Champions Online's healthy obsession with giant monsters, concept art
New screens and a comic art page have been released for Champions Online. The comic page gives a nice quick non-textual narrative on the fall of Lemuria, while the two new screens are full of robotic love.When Cryptic isn't designing giant flaming gorillas into their game, we guess they're designing giant flaming... robots? Well, aside from the slightly worrisome obsession with fire, they have our complete support in this noble venture. As a giant-things addendum, the intricate sense of scale Champions Online seems capable of is a highly promising feature of the newew Cryptic tech. Although when considering the developer's other upcoming MMO, it really does make a lot of sense.We've added the new images to our gallery, so feel free to take a peek at what's shaping up to be a visually arresting superhero MMO.%Gallery-17946%
Take a peek at Champions Online's Monster Island
Over at the official Champions Online website you can find an excerpt from the upcoming Monster Island sourcebook for the Champions tabletop game. The cool thing of course is that this relates entirely to the digital world of Champions Online, which makes it a lore piece as well. The island itself is very much an homage to the Godzilla movies as it's located just off the coast of Japan. It's not all text, however, as Cryptic has seen fit to release three new screens featuring the Monster Island locale and we've gotta say the zone looks pretty awesome. There's plenty of lush jungle-scape and you just know that a giant dinosaur or an 800lb flaming gorilla is just around the corner.We've added all three of the screens to our Champions Online gallery, so feel free to check them out at your leisure.%Gallery-17946%
