Take superhero to max level for nothing.
Atari Europe and Cryptic Studios have announced a change to superhero MMO Champions Online: from Q1 2011 the game will be free-to-play.
In practice, that means anyone can download the game and play up to maximum level for free. There is no subscription and no upfront charge.
There will be a complimentary web-based and in-game C-Store, though, where you can grab things like items, powers, costumes and Adventure Packs for real-world money.
