Latest City of Heroes expansion now out |
Ó
Today marks the release of NCSoft and Cryptic Studios' eighth free expansion for City of Heroes. Issue 8: To Protect and Serve brings new mission styles, new story content, and a veteran awards program to one of the most successful comic-book themed PC games ever. Issue 8 also reintroduces the newly-revitalized Faultline neighborhood as a brand new city zone now that the zombies and other evil beings that plagued it have been kicked out.One of the new features in the expansion is the veteran awards program. This feature gives a wide-variety of veteran rewards for players who have had a City of Heroes or City of Villains account for at least three months. The rewards are given in increments of three months or active play and include special powers, base items, badges and costume pieces such as wings. This rewards program will be applicable to all characters within a qualified account.
Issue 8 also introduces players to Safeguard Missions, where heroes are given only a limited time to halt major crimes being committed by supervillains and their less-than-super henchmen. Heroes can scan for these missions using the new police band contacts, effectively making the "patrolling" aspect of being a superhero more frantic and frenzied than ever before.
"Issue 8 continues to build on a great game, giving players new adventures, areas to explore and rewards for their loyalty," said Matt Miller, Cryptic StudioÂ’s lead designer for City of Heroes and City of Villains. "The action of the new Safeguard Missions is amazing and gives players a way to really feel heroic, which is one of the keys to why City of Heroes has been so successful."
