City of Heroes will be launched on 17th August. In this expansion players will be able to alter the fate of their character, the world around them and the content they can play.


Going Rogue presents players with gripping moral decisions that can alter the fate of their character, the world around them and the content they can play. For the first time in any MMO, moral choices can affect a player’s gameplay experience and determine their character’s ultimate destiny. In addition to revolutionary gameplay mechanics, Going Rogue offers players the stunning alternative world of Praetoria to explore, with new zones, missions and villain groups to battle. Furthermore, starting players will have 20 levels of new content to explore as they work for or against the tyrannical forces of Emperor Cole.

Praetoria was built from the ground up to support the recently introduced Ultra Mode graphics system, massively increasing the level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows and water.

Going Rogue is available to pre-purchase now from NCsoft and select partners for an MSRP €19.99/£17.99. Pre-purchase grants instant access to multiple power sets leading up to the release of Going Rogue. With Dual Pistols, players can wield two customisable pistols with swappable ammo. In the latest power set, Demon Summoning, players can summon demon pets and deal devastating damage with Hellfire Whips.
