Last night we announced some BIG news. City of Heroes® subscribers will pay no additional monthly fee to play City of Villains™. For City of Heroes® players who purchase City of Villains™, simply add the City of Villains™ serial code to your existing City of Heroes® account using the UPGRADE button on your PlayNC™ account management page... and set off for The Rogue Isles™! To do this, be sure to follow the instructions for 'Existing City of Heroes® Account Holders' on the City of Villains™ pre-order instruction page.

City of Villains™ is also available as a stand-alone game. Players who do not own City of Heroes® and players who choose not to upgrade their existing City of Heroes® account will pay the full monthly fee (same price structure as City of Heroes®).

To ensure delivery to everyone including our international customers, the primary method of distribution for the City of Heroes® comic book will now be digital. Starting with Issue 7, we will post a digital copy of the comic book for all City of Heroes® and City of Villains™ players to view and/or save.

If you would like to purchase printed copies, they will be available via your PlayNC™ Account Management page at a reduced rate from the newsstand price and will be delivered to your door! Announcements will be made on the City of Heroes® website and on the City of Heroes® game updater to let you know when you can opt-in for the printed version. As always, copies of the comic can also be purchased at your local comic book store.
