Sneak Peak

|
This section contains information about a past event in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes. |
In an April 28, 2009, interview at Massively.com[1], Positron said that the third booster's theme would be "superscience".
- The next Super Booster is "Superscience" so players can look forward to crazy lab experiments and even cooler costume-change possibilities than we've ever offered before.
Also on April 28, 2009, Positron gave several clues to possible inclusions/exclusions during the anniversary event (partial chatlog):
- 04-28-2009 18:39:22 [Local] Golden Girl1: Positron, which is the next booster pack scheduled for release?
- 04-28-2009 18:39:36 [Local] Positron: Superscience
- 04-28-2009 18:40:08 [Local] Positron: and Dr. Jekyll-costume change emotes
- 04-28-2009 18:40:34 [Local] Zortel: Speaking of Dr. Jekyll, any chance of costume changes involving height change, or even from Male to Huge and such?
- 04-28-2009 18:40:50 [Local] Positron: Hmm Zor... that is an... interesting... idea...
- 04-28-2009 18:25:35 [Local] Brutax: Positron, it's possible to give us more monster cossie like shark face, wolf tails, tentacle arm...
- 04-28-2009 18:25:50 [Local] Positron: Sounds like a Mutant booster, Brutax
