City of Heroes Talks Issue 18 and Going Rogue

[imagebrowser id=180]

Cryptic Studio’s City of Heroes was full of news this week, addressing both the impending Issue 18: Shades of Gray update and giving a bit more of the background for the Going Rogue expansion.

Issue 18 is currently being sent out to CoH players via automated download, although it’s not available on the live servers yet. In anticipation of the update publishers NCsoft are offering free character transfers within the same server zone (North America or Europe) from Tuesday, August 17 until Monday, August 23. Additionally, players who own an active account on August 16 will earn one free Character Respec per character and one Tailor token per unlocked costume. Players will also be able to change their global chat handle.

We’re only days away from the August 17 launch of the Going Rogue expansion, and City of Heroes is whetting our appetite with a little more of the GR story and background. Players can get their first look at the urban landscapes of Imperial City and Neutropolis in this new trailer.
