Champions Online Executive Producer Bill Roper briefly announced the team's plans for Blood Moon, the first free update to the game, in his launch day State of the Game address, and more details have just emerged on the official Web site. Blood Moon looks to be a Halloween event full of werewolves and zombies that lets players explore the new Celestial Powerset.

According to the Blood Moon page, "it's late October and the moon has taken on a sinister aspect, staining the sky a bloody red." Takofanes, the Undying Lord, has returned to wreak havoc, and its up to players to fight the undead armies in an attempt to take him down. Just be careful or you may turn into a zombie or werewolf yourself.
