We have great news coming from the team at Paragon Studios today. They have announced their next major content update, Issue 16: Power Spectrum, which will allow players to customize their powers! It also involves a really nice update to their award-winning and genre-defining character creator, as well as more power set proliferation options. Powers customization is the longest requested feature that players have wanted and they are going to get it this Spring!

Please go to http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/game_updates/issue_16/issue_16_overview.html to find out more specifics about Issue 16.

Also, we have created a new fact sheet for the City of Heroes franchise. This provides a snapshot of what the game is about, what it offers to gamers and what’s coming up. (Yes, our Going Rogue expansion is on there!) You can get the fact sheet at the location listed at the bottom of this email.

Furthermore to the release of Issue 16, QVS, NCsoft and Paragon Studios have released a set of five screens showing powers customization. This batch of screens includes a Blaster that changed his Electric power from blue to gold, a Controller/Dominator who chose to coordinate her Fire Imps with her costume color, as well as a Tank who decided he preferred green Ice Armor over the traditional color blue. 

Also included are a couple first looks at the enhanced character creator, which in addition to allowing for powers customization, will also give players the flexibility in building their character by clicking on the menu items at the top of the screen in any order they wish.

More details about issue 16: Power Spectrum will be revealed in the coming weeks.
