City of Heroes Interview

GamingGroove has published an interview with Cryptic Studios’ Jack Emmert and Mike Crouch, in which the developers talk about several aspects of their superhero MMORPG, City of Heroes.

Q: Tell us about the upcoming expansions… What’s coming up, and what will be in them?

A: Expansion 3 is on the horizon. In addition to the Epic Archetype mentioned earlier, we’re adding a brand new villain group, as well as a new zone. Naturally, this means there will be new missions galore. We’re also hoping to get a new chat system in this update, as well as several other quality of life issues. And players will also get their long awaited mission difficulty slider. Perhaps most importantly, we’re moving the storyline of the game ahead; players can take part in a world changing event whose consequences will reverberate for years to come.
