While people still wonder if Take Two Interactive's Rockstar brand will release an MMO version of their Grand Theft Auto franchise, Take Two's other major brand, 2K Games, just claimed its first MMO project. The publisher announced today that it will handle the duties for Champions Online, the highly anticipated super hero themed title from original City of Heroes developer Cryptic Studios.

2K Games will publish both the PC and Xbox 360 version of the game which is currently due for release in the spring of 2009. We hope to have more info on the game in the very near future and we also expect to see Champions Online at E3 next week.
