Champions Online free this weekend News

MMO PC News by Oli Welsh

26 October, 2009

Cryptic is celebrating Halloween, and the release of its Blood Moon update to Champions Online, by making the superhero MMO free to play for a weekend.

The game will be free to all from 10am Pacific time (5pm in the UK) on Friday 30th October to the same time on Monday 2nd November. You can sign up now for the promotional weekend at the Champions website, and download the game in advance.

Champions subscribers, meanwhile, get to play Blood Moon from tomorrow, 27th October. Blood Moon introduces the new Celestial support and healing powerset and the Zombie Apocalypse player-versus-player map (in which fallen players are resurrected as the enemy), as well as the Blood Moon event itself, in which players will fight undead heroes, werewolves and the undead king Takofanes.

There's more about Blood Moon at the official website and about the game in general at our Champions Online gamepage.

having a trial is called desperate? On the contrary not having one seams desperate to me.

It's like you have such a bad game, that you need every sale you can get, from people who might buy it our of curiosity

I bought this at launch and was bored before my first month was up. Its not bad overall, a big improvement on CoH (I know some loved it but I just couldn't take to it) and the character creation is fantastic and more flexible. I just felt an overwhelming 'meh' about it though.

As far as why they are offering a free weekend? I can see how it looks but its too early to say either way, may be now they have the early buyers or unemployed (me atm) in the pocket they can start getting those in who don't buy without a trial (usually me but god I'm bored!).

Still enjoying Champs - Very different from any other MMO I've ever tried.

Still seem to be loads of people on as well.

Interesting, but post nerfs Champions has an XP gap that will require more than just one content update to adequately fill. I hope it survives long enough to fill them because it really was quite a special little MMO.
