Champions Online Executive Producer Shannon Posniewski has published the latest State of the Game letter on the official site. In it, 'Poz' talks about Summer Update set to go live today boasting a bunch of new changes and enhancements including new emotes, a new difficulty setting and more. Posniewski also takes time to discuss the game's first anniversary coming on September 1, 2010.
In addition, September 1 is a special day for Champions Online: It's our first anniversary! In celebration, we're going to be holding a party in Millennium City from August 27 through September 6 - when the celebration ends with a bang. Stop by the new Renaissance Center to get gifts (costume pieces, water balloons, party bombs and more!) and have some fun with your fellow heroes. Let's hope Destroyer doesn't show up!
Also, if you have friends who would like to try Champions Online, they can play from September 1 to September 7 (at 3:00 a.m. Pacific) for free! (This is an unrestricted trial, not a demo.)
Poz also discusses the Demonflame adventure pack set to be released at the end of September or early October, a website overhaul and what's next for the game.
