Overview

City of Heroes: Going Rogue will be the second expansion of the City of Heroes universe (the first being City of Villains, of course!). No dates or much information is known about this exciting new development. It will be a new box featuring a whole new world, where a character's choices may decide whether they end up a hero or villain. (Note: Orange text is player speculation.)

Confirmations

Several players, though reportedly not all players, have received the following email:

Paragon Studios™ is proud to officially announce the next City of Heroes® expansion, City of Heroes Going Rogue™! This will be the first major expansion for the City of Heroes franchise since the launch of City of Villains® in 2005.

Praetoria, a utopian mirror to our own world, hides a dark secret. Exploring this mysterious alternate earth, the heroes and villains of this world feel an uneasiness of doubt creep over them. Loyalties are questioned. Choices are made. Lines are drawn. As they search for the truth behind Emperor Cole and his Praetorian guard, brutal foes and fierce allies emerge, turning this once blissful paradise into a battle ground.

City of Heroes Going Rogue officially opens the "mirror universe" of Praetoria and an all-new alignment system that explores the shades of gray that lie between Heroes and Villains. For the first time, Hero characters can become Villains and vice versa, enabling Heroes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and Villains to experience Paragon City™.

It's not a joke. I can't say more about it now, though. Stay tuned for more info!
