CoX: I15 pre-download
NCsoft's latest free expansion "Issue #15: Anniversary" is coming soon, and the data content is now available for download prior to being released on the live servers.
So give yourself a head start!
The download will begin after you exit your play session rather than prior to entering the game. The download is purely optional - you can cancel at any time.
It is important to note that you will not be able to see or experience the "Issue #15: Anniversary" content until it has been officially released on the live servers, but, again, receiving it ahead of time will allow you to play right away (once the content is available), instead of waiting for a large patch to download.
Remember - you can cancel the download at anytime. Your progress will be saved and you can resume downloading the content the next time you are done playing City of Heroes®.
Please visit our Game Updates page to get an overview of what's included in "Issue #15: Anniversary".

Champions Online New Release Date
We wanted our fans to hear this from us first... We’re changing our Champions Online launch date from July 14th to September 1st of this year.
Why? Here’s what our own Bill Roper, Design Director and Executive Producer on Champions Online, had to say about it:
“It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch. Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realized that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time. So that's what we're going to give it. Cryptic has a proven track record of releasing solid games and we want to maintain that with Champions Online.”
What does this mean for you? Simply, more beta play time right now and a better, more polished game at launch.

Mission Architect
- The maximum number of tickets awarded per player per mission has been reduced to 1,500 tickets. Because you cannot get a partial reward for defeating an enemy, you may end up with slightly less.
- It is no longer possible to unpublish an arc that has been banned, though it may be resubmitted.
- You may now either unpublish, or resubmit an invalidated arc.
- If your character is not eligible for any xp/influence/debt reduction rewards in a Mission Architect mission, you will no longer be awarded any tickets for that mission.
- It is no longer possible to have the Mission Completion ticket reward be greater than the total number of tickets gained before mission completion.
- The ‘chicken tug’ animation is no longer selectable for critters through the Mission Architect UI.

City of Heroes 5 Year Anniversary Celebration
We’re not going to ruin the surprise…but suffice it to say that all CHAOS is going to break loose in-game on our anniversary date and you’re not going to want to miss it! From 11am BST (noon CEST) on April 28th to 11:59pm BST (00:59am CEST), get ready to re-experience some of the things that have made City of Heroes® the great game that it is over the past five years! The festivities will be more fun than you can shake a stick at, and will include plenty of opportunities to earn merits, badges and XP.
But that’s not all…
Some familiar faces will be hanging out on the Training Room Test Server throughout the day—ready to wish you a happy anniversary. So copy a character over and pay them a visit!
Also on our anniversary day, be watching around 2am BST (3am CEST) in-game (and shortly thereafter on the website), for a special Anniversary Address from everyone’s favourite Lead Designer, Positron. He will certainly have some fun information to share!
