Take-Two Drops Champions Online

Not necessarily a big shocker, but Take-Two has confirmed that they won’t be publishing Champions Online following Atari’s acquisition of Cryptic Studios.

With none of the parties commenting, the publishing status of Champions Online lingered in purgatory for a week. Today, though, 2K parent Take-Two Interactive gave a definitive answer on the publishing question–in the negative. “We no longer intend to publish the MMOG Champions Online due to Atari’s acquisition of Cryptic,” said Take-Two president Ben Feder in a post-earnings conference call with analysts.
