The Champions Online Website announces September 1 is the new release date for the super-powered MMORPG Cryptic was planning for release in July, saying this will offer "more beta play time right now and a better, more polished game at launch." Here's more from Cryptic's Bill Roper:

“It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch. Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realized that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time. So that's what we're going to give it. Cryptic has a proven track record of releasing solid games and we want to maintain that with Champions Online.”
