City of Heroes

City of Heroes (CoH) was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the superhero comic book genre developed by Cryptic Studios and published by NCSOFT. The game was launched in North America on April 27, 2004, and in Europe (by NCsoft Europe) on February 4, 2005, with English, German and French language servers. Twenty-three free major updates for City of Heroes were released before its shutdown, with a nearly finished 24th update able to be played on the games beta server. The final live update, "Where Shadows Lie," was released on May 31, 2012. On August 31, 2012, NCsoft terminated its Paragon Studios development team, ending all production on CoH with the last day of services on November 30, 2012.
