City of Heroes Issue 15: Anniversary goes live
City of Heroes Issue 15: Anniversary has launched, bringing a whole new chapter and new content to the comic-book inspired MMO. Commemorating the game’s recent five-year anniversary celebration, Issue 15: Anniversary brings City of Heroes its 15th free content update, which introduces new content, missions, features and customization tools.
Issue 15: Anniversary marks the revival of The 5th Column, the most popular villain group in the game, through 10 new missions. Players can tackle these villains in a Hero Task Force or a Villain Strike Force, to uncover the mystery behind the resurgence of this long dormant foe. Along with the new missions, players can now customize their characters with more than 20 extra character faces, Vines and Ulterior themed costume sets and several new costume change emotes - visual animations that come to life when characters transition between costumes within the game.
City of Heroes players have waited a long time to hear that the Mission Architect system has been launched. Part of Issue 14: Architect, the system adds users created content into NCsoft’s super hero action MMO. This is certainly a milestone for the game and for MMO’s in general. Players now have the power to create and share their own custom missions and story arcs, generating user-generated content for the City of Heroes community.
