(New York, NY) March 24, 2010 – Atari Inc., one of the world’s most recognized videogame publishers, and renowned MMO developer Cryptic Studios, have today unleashed Revelation, the first full-fledged expansion for the ultimate superhero universe, Champions Online™, which originally launched in September of 2009. The Revelation expansion is available at no additional cost to current Champions Online players.

In addition, Champions Online will offer 72 hours of unrestricted playtime beginning on March 26th at 10:00am PST, ending March 29th at 10:00am PST.

“Revelation represents some of the best work to date on Champions,” says Bill Roper, Executive Producer of Cryptic Studios. “The expansion features an epic storyline filled with noble heroes and terrifying villains, set in gorgeous new environments that will surely engage and entice players.”

Revelation takes us far below Vibora Bay, the sultry southern city, where an ancient magic lies. An angel, exiled from heaven and hell for his refusal to take sides during Lucifer’s first rebellion, has been hiding deep below the city. It is his primeval magic that permeates all of Vibora Bay and has drawn powerful witches, wizards, and sorcerers to the city for centuries. The ultimate resolution of this epic conflict hinges on one man, Robert Caliburn, and whoever controls Caliburn will control the war and triumph.

Key features for Revelation include:

• • Brand New Level 37 to 40 Content: Experience the endgame in all new ways, as friends become enemies and the picturesque Vibora Bay falls sway to the half-angel, half-demon Therakiel.
