City of Heroes and Villains Merged

NCSoft announces the merger of City of Heroes and City of Villains, the super-powered MMORPGs that complemented each other. Apparently, they weren’t consolidated till now. The company claims that this will lay the groundwork for future projects to be announced later this year.

All current subscribers who have subscriptions to one game will now have access to the features of both games. The announcement notes that a major announcement is coming later this year, but would not offer any details.

“In setting the stage for our upcoming plans for the IP, we felt the time was right to truly consolidate the City of Heroes and City of Villains universe,” said Brian Clayton, General Manager and Executive Producer. “We have removed all restrictions that were created when City of Villains launched in order to make way for some really cool content and features we have in the pipeline. This is an evolution of the IP that lays the foundation for what’s to come.”
