City of Heroes developer have a new countdown ticking-away on their official website, hinting that a new project will be unveiled by the developer on the 27th of July.

Champions Online is of course the latest game in the works at the veteran studio, the title beginning life as the subsequently axed superheroes MMO.

Rumour has it that Cryptic could have picked up the license to create an official MMO, after developer Perpetual sold the rights during liquidation last winter.

Speculation abound that a 'Bay Area' firm has picked up the IP, while the counter on the Cryptic site certainly implies some kind of sci-fi project.

The San Diego Comic-Con ends on the same day, too. Coincidence?
