Cryptic Studios has given a lengthy update on its MMO revealing that the upcoming Champions Online expansion has been renamed and will even be released for free.
"We have a lot going on right now at Cryptic, and with Champions Online in particular," reads the update. "There are huge changes afoot, and rather than spend a lot of time with the preamble, let's sink our collective teeth into the meat of the matter."
Skipping through the update, we get to: "The expansion formerly known as Vibora Bay (always our working title) has a new, more descriptive name: Champions Online - Revelation. The half-angel / half-demon Therakiel is bent on bringing forth the end times. Now, it is up to you to join a team of the greatest heroes the world has ever known to stop him.
"We've had continuous discussions for many weeks regarding the Revelation expansion and how it should be delivered to our community. I am very glad to announce that while we built Revelation to the quality and expectations of a paid expansion pack, we are making it available for FREE to our players."
