Well, I'm not surprised about this news.
Champions Online was scheduled for July 14th but is now
pushed back to September 1st. The reasoning is to add some features but I'm going to say to do some more testing and bug fixing as well. I was hoping to see the game at E3 but with Atari pulling out it looks like I'll have to wait on a beta to get a feel for the game. As long as this game is released and doesn't follow the previous fate of a Champions game though, I think we'll be OK with the delay.
