Cryptic Studios, the developer responsible for City of Heroes, is taking beta applications for Champions Online. The beta is closed and will begin mid-November. People who want to take advantage of the opportunity can find the application here, but only PC gamers are invited.
We’ve seen Champions Online in a few different contexts. Back in July, our very own Qais Fulton said that Champions was “shaping up to be one fantastic game, not just a good MMO.” I was able to get my grubby hands on it during Gen Con this year, and I was quite impressed. Even though the beta is PC-only, players will find that using an Xbox 360 controller is perfect for the game’s stylish, action-oriented combat.
No word on when Cryptic will quit taking applications, but it might be best to get into the pool early. How many of you are interested in Champions? Does it look like it will have enough flair to keep you hooked?

If this is just as good or even better, I'll be very pleased. I hope I get into the beta.
As a guy that enjoyed his 6 months with CoH back when it started, I can't fucking wait for this game.
hope it doesn't blow the sweaty one
