City of Heroes Fan Server Now Officially Licensed by NCSoft

The once-defunct multiplayer game, City of Heroes, is making an official comeback thanks to a fan server named Homecoming, which has now been granted an official license by the game's publisher, NCSOFT. The fanServer has kept the game alive and entertaining for its players after it was shut down in November 2012, and their dedication has now paid off in the form of the revival of this wildly popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game, more than a decade after its original shutdown. The announcement sparked excitement with its reassurance of preserved player accounts and characters. According to the announcement, the game will continue to remain free and will be funded through donations, with continued development of new content. The game, which was lauded by IGN as an enjoyable, colourful, and accessible introduction to MMOs for newcomers at its initial release, allows players a vast range of character creation possibilities for their own personal hero to explore the depths of Paragon City. More details regarding the revival release will be given in the upcoming months.
