Cryptic Studios has unveiled new information and screenshots of Millenium City, home to the heroes in the upcoming MMO, Champions Online.

The new info sheds some light on the background of Millennium City, explaining how it became the high-tech metropolis it is now. 17 years ago, the evil Doctor Destroyer reduced Detroit to rubble, but the superheroes rebuilt it as an example of determination. It is now the home of the world's most powerful superteam, the Champions, along with other heroes such as Dr Silverback and Kodiak.

However, wherever there is good, evil lurks not far away. Players must stay on their toes to keep the likes of The New Purple Gang, Viper and Foxbat, not to mention Doctor Destroyer, at bay.

More new screenshots are included in the images below, featuring an outnumbered hero fighting off a band of bad guys and a cinematic shot of a bug taking on a metal-clad superherock gut our Champions Online hands-on for an overview of this upcoming game.
