Overview
Demon Summoning is a primary powerset for Masterminds that was announced[1] for Going Rogue.
The Demon Summoning power set imbues Masterminds the ability to tap into the abyss and conjure seven different types of elemental demons, each with its own unique themed attacks. Demon Summoning lets a Mastermind wade into the thick of the fight with elemental demon henchmen instead of hanging back and attacking at range. Demon Summoning is a primary power choice for Masterminds and is the power set of choice for Desdemona, one of the City of Heroes Going Rogue™ signature characters.
The hellfire whip and the seven elemental demons--Fiery Demonling, Cold Demonling, Hellfire Demonling, Ember Demon, Hellfire Gargoyle, Demon Prince, and Living Hellfire--are what sets Demon Summoning apart from other Mastermind primary power sets. The hellfire whip, dealing fire and toxic damage, reduces its target's resistance with searing, torturous hellfire. Unlike typical Mastermind attacks, hellfire whip attacks (except Corruption) have a much shorter range. Crack Whip and Lash with a hellfire whip have a longer range than melee attacks, but much shorter range than ranged attacks. The fire-, cold-, and hellfire-based attacks of the demons provide a variety of secondary effects.

Details
Taken from the HeroCon information thread on the Official Forums
Your personal weapon is a Fire Whip.
Your pets' tails will sway.
The pets all have the same general look: Red, demonic, with skeleton masks/heads.
History
In a forum post, Back Alley Brawler mentioned a "customizable Hellfire Whip" in a reference to the set. At HeroCon, concept art seemed to support this comment.
In an MMORPG interview, it was announced that pre-purchasing Going Rogue allows early access to Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning.
