Bill Roper is the Executive Producer and Design Director for Champions Online, and he sat down with Techulous this week for a talk about how things are going for the game so far and what he sees in its future.

He talked about about the players, their feedback, and what's been happening in Champions Online so far, then Techulous got down to the big question: what's next?

Champions Online has big plans for the next few months, including some new content for all levels of players. He mentioned the two brand new mission chains for levels 18-21, and promised different development paths for new heroes as well as more endgame content for higher level players in the future.

Roper wrapped up the interview with some interesting information on what to watch for in the future: "We have a lot of things in the pipeline, including a new Nemesis-centric lair in November, a Winter Event in December, and something really big in the first part of 2010."

It sounds like Cryptic isn't finished adding to Champions Online by a long shot - you can read the full interview here.

As a new player (as of the free weekend), this definitely makes me happy. I am really enjoying the game so far but I hear it lacks content at end-game. So I will assume that big update in 2010 is a good amount of content to come. Perfect timing for me :D

This makes me happy.

I originally planned on playing CO only until WoW:Cataclysm came out. However, I must admit that I'm addicted. I've been playing CO daily and I really can't get enough. I loved the Blood Moon event and I'm greatly looking forward to the Nemesis-centric content and the "big" content patch coming in early 2010.

They shouldn't be here. I kept them busy in their CoH article and made people write essays in its defense.

Of course they're not going to stop adding content, fixing thing, adjusting and shifting. If they stopped the game would be dead and no one would have a reason to stay..

They better keep working till the day they decide to close shop if they want to survive.
