Accounts re-activated for all City of Villains/City of Heroes
Wednesday 7 June 2006/... NCsoft® Europe has today announced the
release of a new free-to-subscribers update to City of VillainsTM and
City of Heroes®, entitled "Issue 7: Destiny Manifest". The new
feature-packed update adds new high-level content, two new zones and
the opportunity for City of Villains players to create havoc in new
"Mayhem Missions".
To celebrate this momentous occasion, any former player of City of
Heroes or City of Villains can rejoin the game for an exclusive
five-day game period, to experience for themselves all of the
incredible new content that Issue 7: Destiny Manifest has to offer.
Issue 7 adds level 40 to level 50 content to City of Villains,
including more than 300 new missions and a new PvE (player vs
environment) zone, Grandville. Grandville contains Spider City, the
vertically-built capital of Lord RecluseTM, the leader of the feared
Arachnos villain group.
Highlighting the new mission sets are Mayhem Missions, which allow
villains to enter instanced zones in Paragon CityTM. During these
missions, a villain must create as much havoc in the zone as possible,
reaping unique rewards and loot. The Mayhem Mission zones are
destructible environments where villains can unlock multiple random
events, harass citizens and battle the Paragon City Police.
A new feature to both City of Heroes and City of Villains is the unique
level 40 to 50 PvP zone, Recluse's Victory. Recluse's Victory is
twisted, alternate universe version of Paragon City's Atlas ParkTM,
where villains and heroes battle for heavily armed (and armoured!)
control points. As the battle rages, players will watch Recluse's
Victory change before their eyes, as the balance of power shifts to one
true 'good' or 'evil' version of the zone. Heroes and villains can
command powerful mobile weapons platforms that can help turn the tide
of battle, and better yet, powerful signature characters can also aid
each side, allowing players to battle the likes of Lord Recluse or
Statesman.
"This highly anticipated expansion makes villains meaner and introduces
a PvP zone that has not been seen before in the online multiplayer
market," said Matt Miller, Cryptic Studio'sTM lead designer for City of
Heroes and City of Villains. "Players will have a blast exploring the
new high-level content and causing endless destruction in the new
Mayhem Missions, which take being a villain to a new low. This
expansion will reinforce to players that the 'City of' franchise is the
top comic-book based game on the market, because Issue 7 has something
that will amaze everyone."
Issue 7 also introduces "Patron Powers" for players who reach level 40,
allowing them to adopt a new set of abilities that enable players to
command the same forces as the City of Villains signature villains:
Ghost WidowTM, Captain MakoTM, SciroccoTM or Black ScorpionTM. And
that's not all - Issue #7 also provides new base features, including
storage items, empowerment stations, super group banners and base color
tinting, and a brand new set of costume options. Sweeping art and
graphics improvements have also been added to City of Heroes.
