The Lunar New Year means another returning event to superheroing MMORPG Champions Online. The Red Banner Ruin event, which readers will recall was run a couple of years ago, is returning to the game once more between February 11th and 18th.
For those who missed out on this event, it involves players fighting off Hi-Pan’s Red Banner cultists and recovering stolen artifacts. The announcement post does note that “something’s changed” for this version of the event and hints at some more nefarious plans by Hi-Pan, which players will have to investigate. Naturally, there are rewards in it for those who take part, including some fancy armbands and a similarly fancy sword.
Whether this is a prelude to a future storyline or just a rehash of a seasonal event, CO players will have one week in February to see the deed done.
