Gaming News - July 2004

Austin, TX (July 20, 2004) - NCsoft Corporation and Cryptic Studios, developer of City of Heroes, today announced plans for this year’s Comic-Con show at the San Diego Convention Center July 22 through July 25.

From NCsoft:

The NCsoft booth will feature City of Heroes, which is a massively multiplayer online game that enables players to create the costumes and powers for their own, uniquely designed superhero and fight villains in the fictional Paragon City.

Comic-Con attendees will be able to meet the development team, see live demonstrations of the game and will be able to create their own superheroes using the game’s character creation tool. Jack “Statesman” Emmert will hold comic book hero and villain trivia contests and Rick Dakan of Blue King Studios will be on hand to sign the City of Heroes comic book, one of the most widely distributed comics in the U.S. Additionally, noted comic artists Mike Kunkel, Scott Sava, and Scott Kurtz will make appearances at the booth to sign their special Comic-Con poster, “Heroes by Night,” which showcases the heroes they created and use in City of Heroes.

Also shown at the booth will be NCsoft’s graphically stunning Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle, an online game with intense player-on-player combat and dramatic large-scale castle sieges.

Attendees can find the NCsoft booth in the electronic entertainment section of the expo: Hall G, booth number 4323.
