The folks at Cryptic Studios have been working hard for a while on their next super hero themed MMO Champions Online and this week the developer released some new screenshots that once again showcase the game's semi-cel shaded art style.

The screenshots come from Monster Island, a location in the game that's actually in the original Hero Games pen-and-paper RPG which Cryptic now owns the rights.The sourcebook for Monster Island is due for release this summer from Hero Games and the Champions Online web site has an excerpt from that book to go along with the new screenshots release. Look for a lot more info to be revealed on Champions Online in the near future.
